shift extender dress up
I recently purchased the shift extender 3" from MicroImage. I have a stock shifter with a rubber boot and stock shift knob. it put the shifter almost exactly where I wanted it but it looked really rough. I know there are ways to make it look better that are a little on the expensive side. the problem is that my cash flow is going other places so I am really pacing myself with this car.
I decided to try to do something myself. before anyone says anything, it was cheap and isn't great but it does dress it up a little bit. the entire cost was somewhere around $8 and I still have quite a bit of material left over. I don't have a picture of the bone stock shifter but here is the before and after with the extender. Before ![]() After ![]() ![]() I used a piece of 3/4" CPVC. I was going to use PVC but it was too big a round to go into the shift knob. the CPVC must be a thinner wall so it actually seats into the shift knob and goes over the shifter and seats on the rubber boot. I used Krylon Fusion black (it is designed to paint plastic better). the results aren't perfect but may keep me from buying another boot and shift knob for a while. now I can focus on an intake and other things. maybe a short shifter Kit. |
