Im thinking about getting a 7th Gen short shifter but i was talking to a buddy of mine that had an older miata and he said that he just cut his shifter short and then rethreaded the end of it for his shifter knob. how hard would it be for me to do that? or would it even work that way?

well, it is possible to do that, but that's not exactly how a short shifter works. The proper way is to change the pivot point so the throws are actually shorter.
If you go the cutting/rethreading route: 1- the shifter will be shorter in height 2- the throws still be shorter depending on how much you cut but, the shorter you make it, the harder it will be to shift. A proper short shifter will not change the force required to shift. |
