i was wondering if anyone who has the 7th gen short shifter is having or had problems with the clearence from 1st and 2nd hitting the e-brake?
Heres what i gathered...i dont want to put the spacers in because that would defeat the purpose of the short throw look IMO..i can cut the shifter about an inch and then i think it will be fine but i rather not do that either if i dont have too...OR i was wondering if anyone has ever put a smaller E-Brake handle in? it looks like its 4 pins and the handle itself will come out but has anyone ever done this? pictures? i would really like to put a new one in with a smaller handle, it would look a lot better and i would also have the clearence i would need for the shifter    im 95% sure i will still be able to put it into gear ok but i dont want to be hitting my e-brake everytime i go in 1st or 2nd...F that This post has been edited by 95st-celica: Dec 29, 2008 - 5:03 PM --------------------  I"M NOT A TOYOTA FAN, IM A FANATIC 1984 accord hatch 5 speed (T-Belt)-Junkyard 1991 VDUB jetta wolfsburg Ed. 5 speed (clutch)-junkyard 1988 Dodge Aries K (sold) 1969 Chevy El camino - Traded for celica 1991 Dodge Daytona-Traded for Celica 1988 Chevy Camaro-Work in Progress 1989 Ford Mustang LX 5.0 - For Sale 1995 Toyota Celica-Work in Progress |

the shifter has nothing to do with the plastics.
The shifter is connected to the cables that have nothing to stop them right now. The clearance will be just fine. Since you're going to swap you might as well disconnect the cables from the shifter assembly now and remove them, you won't need the ST cables anymore. -------------------- |
