Modified shifter for long azz arms???
Wednesday, September 20, 2006 2:41 PM
Not sure if this should be in interior or transmission...

Here's my dilemma. Simply put, my shifter annoys me. I'm pretty tall, and I have really long arms. The only way I can confortably shift is with my arm hanging over the console like a friggin ape. If I could move it forward a bit, maybe with a custom shifter arm or somethig, it'd be much more comfy for me. Not sure if anyone else has ever complained of this or maybe they have and figured out how to fix it.

Odd request, huh.

Weld on a bend shaft that extends away from you.

Yeah I don't know if a short shifter will help. Unless it can take say two inches of travel out. I've already hacked off about an inch and a half off the stock shifter and the Type-R knob sits down over it and it's still annoying me. I just wondered if anyone had ever done it, I never seen it mentioned.

hey man just lay your seat back a lil more and make yourself lay farther from the shifter and it should work well with your long arms

it would probably be cheaper to just shorten your right arm
