are you after a quick shift or short shift

[R&D Mechanical]

This will not give you a quick throw just a shorter stick

[ronaboy]

yeah short; 1; the smalest diffrence in speed 2; so i can use the sterio properly 3; it looks and feals better to drive.

You'd have to machine up a spacer for the shifter housing, and cut/weld or somehow extend the small 'ball' on the end of the shifter to reach the shift socket. If you wanted to do this yourself.

Or buy an already made W58 short shifter.
