Here is how to order one of my custom modified stock shifters. The final cost is $110 + your stock shifter with a $75 core charge. I also offer the UUC bushings (that I purchase from Luke and keep in stock) for an additional $30. These make a huge difference and are highly recommended.

1. Paypal either $185 or $215 to ........................ Be sure to include the reason why you're sending me the money and your shipping address in the notes section of the transaction.

2. I'll ship you a modified shifter via USPS Priority Mail (2-3 day shipping). I include detailed directions, a drill bit to drill out the stock rivets, new stainless steel hardware to replace the rivets, a tube of white lithium grease and a tube of lok-tite.

3. Swap out your old shifter with the new one and return your stock one to me. Please try to include the small items attached to the rectangular end, these include two nylon bushings, two rubber seals and one metal sleeve.

4. Upon receipt of your stock shifter I will refund the core charge of $75 via the same Paypal transaction.

I don't recall receiving a message from you on this forum. The wait list is because I have to wait for people to return their stock shifter so I can modify it and send it to the next person. Currently there are four people on the list. Being number 5 could mean a six week or so wait. At any one time I have at least ten shifters out.

I sent you the payment last night. As for the first message I sent, I asked you some questions that, after reading some other posts, were already answered. So I edited my post. I'm probably confusing you. Sorry. I'm looking forward to receiving my short shifter. I promise I will send mine out very quickly once I receive the modded one. ("Modded", is that a word?)

I recieved my shifter today and had to put it in immediately. The job took me five hours to complete, but I tend to be a very slow worker. I just have to say that the new shifter is marvelous. The shift gates are easily distinguishable and everything feels sharp and precise. Everything is so defined I feel I'm actually using less force to shift because I don't have to question whether or not I completed the gear change, thus applying extra force to be safe. This was well worth the wait, and I highly recommend that anyone with a stock shifter gets on the waiting list now.

Is there a way to measure what's in my car now to see if it's already been modified? My car has an aftermarket knob on the shifter so I can't really eyeball how tall it should look, but it already seems a lot shorter. The shifter seems less than ideal, but I don't know if it's better than it should be already.

All that to say that if my car is a stock shifter with a knob, I'd like PISNUOFF's modded one. Or if the p.o. just did a hack job on the shifter on there. I just need to know how to tell one way or another. Any help?

You can tell by looking under the car where it attaches to the shift linkage.

The three on the right are stock shifters and the one on the left has had a piece of pipe welded on the bottom.



Here are the same stock shifters above after my modification. As you can see, there is a stainless steel insert pressed between the nylon pivot ball and the rectangular base. You will be able to see this from under the car.

so........ can the "swap" can be done entirely from inside the car ? In other words, I dont need a lift or anything. Just regular set of tools, a little some mechanical skills and time. Is that correct? My car will be going on hibernation here in a couple of days. I'm going to go ahead and pay up and add myself to the list - since wait time will be irrelevant.

You will have to unbolt and bolt from the underside of the car. Most people do it by putting the car on jack stands. You can always remove yours and send it to me for modification, that eliminates waiting in line and dealing with the core charge. Simply send $185 via PayPal and send me your shifter. I can email you directions for removing your shifter.

Yes, that's a really old quote. I do not need them and replace them. That was the reason for the price increase way back when. You can send me yours for modification and compare the difference between your UUC or sell it to me if you are happy with your UUC.

Whats the general consensus on shortening the stalk along with this mod ?

Will the top of the shifter sit lower than where the UUC is now ?

Does your video have the stalk shortened, or is that just the insert on the lower end ?

Thanks,


BTW... did you happen to see the video I posted on the other thread with my shifter movement with the engine off ?

$185

Brian may have additional cores now. I sent mine in and it looks like one or two others have as well.

I did want to say that dealing with Brian was a very positive experience. He promptly answered questions and all transactions were timely and positive. Also, as most everyone else has noted this is a great mod. I didn't realize how much I didn't like the stock part until I did this mod.
All cores have been modified and are back out. I don't have any just sitting around, people are still on the waiting list.

br_1868 (at) hotmail (dot) com. Sending $300 via PayPal to that address puts you on the list. After I send your shifter and you swap/return your core to me I'll refund $115 via PayPal.

The instructions are on the first post in this thread. However, I no longer supply the UUC polyurethane bushings.
