i know there are aftermarket short shifters out there but has anyone ever actually just taken their stock shifter and cut it down to size? it may not be a shorter throw but i dont care too much for that. i just hate how tall my stock one is.

 

If you're going for straight looks, then yeah, cut the stock one down a couple inches and retap it. Also, think about an aftermarket shift boot as the stock one will look like crap all bunched up on the shorter shifter.

Just got this one from Redline goods for my TWM. They do whatever color leather and stitching you want, dropped for whatever size shifter you want. $60 shipped from Poland.
