Re: Cheap Mods (i.e. short shifter) 200 1983

Tim,

I've tried both versions of improved shifters. By far, the best mod is to lengthen the lower shift lever (below the ball) by 3/4". I brought the shifter to a local welder and he charged me $10. I spent 10X that much on a shortened upper and all I ended up with is a broken reverse ring lifter.
