looking to have a short shifter, but ill be dagnabit to spend a hundred bucks for one....I think thats ridiculous for 2 rods and a few nuts. cant I just cut the shifter? is there anything wrong with taking a dremel to it and re-attaching the knob?
from experience i know i should ask this kind of thing before i go demolition on my baby This post has been edited by e30og: Oct 19, 2010 - 10:22 PM -------------------- same skidpad grip as a 2006 M3....stock. 'nuff said

Can't I just cut the stick down a few inches and put the knob back on? I guess i dont understand how the short shifter affects the linkage or something -------------------- same skidpad grip as a 2006 M3....stock. 'nuff said
