Re: tall shifters?

Glad you liked it! There is a rubber shift boot at the base. The original t5 shifter stuck thru it about 1". I used a 1/2x3/8 45 degree elbow. Screwed the 3/8 end onto shifter in a vise with pipe wrenches. I mean, torqued that thing on. Then worked my way to the top. U can use different lengths of pipe and return the ones u don't use. The ones u do, put a wire wheel in a drill press if u have and polish all the pieces. U can grind some of the rough spots first. You'll get so it feels good to the hand. Nice thing is, you can shape it how you want. You just can back off. If you think you can go around one more turn, do it. Each piece should be real tight. It worked awesome. Post pics when your done and good luck...
