3D Printable Lateral Short Throw for stock shifter assembly

[Compeer]

Does this go under the bonnet? Ive been trying to find one for sale for the under the bonnet one and cant find one, nor could I find the design or measurements anywhere.

Making a cad to have these cut in alloy would be even better.

I was actually about to make a post on upgrading the shifter bushing to roller bearings when I seen this, I have the nst short shifter installled with the solid bushing mounts, speaking of which you shortened the shifter like the nst one but did you make solid bushing for the actual shifter box mounts? alot of the side to side motion comes from those rubber bushings. I had actually planned on getting some longer ones machine to bring the whole shifter box up as far as possible.

Also come join the discord I made for us all, can easily share files there, this is a cool project!

So this link is one that attaches to the side of the shift box in the interior. It would be fully compatible with a stock or NST/Ralco shifter.

Because it is in the interior, I dont think it would be cost effective or required to machine it out of aluminum. I printed this out of ABS as it has the best material properties over a wide temp range that the interior of a car will experience. I am fairly positive that the stock shifter assembly is made from PA6 Nylon, but I have found in my experience with FDM printers that printed PA6 does not retain the great material properties like injection molded PA6. ABS is a much better material to work with when it comes to printing car parts IMHO.

Anyway here it is! Prototype #1. The peg that the spring rides on snapped off when I removed the support material, but I made it hollow like stock so Rev2 will have it solid. For now I am just going to use a bolt in place of that peg. Installing it this afternoon so I will take some measurements of the reduction in throw
