JMortensen Posted July 12, 2003 Share Posted July 12, 2003 Find a 60's to 80's Nissan truck with L series motor. Take the shifter from that, bend if necessary in a hydraulic press, cut to length, thread for shift knob. Cheap and not so easy $5 short shifter.

Guest 240hybrid Posted July 12, 2003 Share Posted July 12, 2003 I would go with the previous recommendation of makin a custom $5 shifter, but if you dont want to bother -> Give MSA a call at 1 800 633 6331 or http://www.zcarparts.com . I know that they make them for your year car, I saw it in the catalog. BUT, they're in question of availability, I would still call them on the matter as they might have found a new supplier or found some more somewhere. Who knows, but its worth the try. They claim to reduce shifts up to 60%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
