hey mate,
i have a sr20 ae71 and still have a little gap over where the shifter is, what can i do to cover it up neatly like you did, what did you do to make your so clean and tidy on the inside coz i am getting hot air coming through.

Gday

Completely cut out the shifter area

Then make up a plate to cover the hole and weld and sikaflex it on, then you can cut out the old holes that the shifter boot screws into then weld them underneth the new plate and then drill threw the new plate to expose the boot screw holes or maybe you can use tech screws to fix the boot im not shore.

does it work out alrite does the button still work t hold it...

yeah you just screw the button on further and cut the spring down a bit.

if you wanted to cut it down heaps you could cut the rod down and super glue the button to the rod.
but you wont need to cut it down that much.

Just reverse the shifter for a quick fix, doesnt feel that wierd.

i diddnt think of that. i might try that!
i got a short shifter off ebay. $70 works great.
