Not if you use both shifter and linkage SSK. hehe.

Here is my mile long shifter. Or w/e that other guy said.

Man, I hated that stock steering wheel.

While I'm at it, I'll post this. And I might as well make another thread about it.

ddongbap · 01-11-2009, 06:14 AM

But srsly, Garm, if you can make me one asap, I'll pick it up, asap.

lol Rob, sorry, I meant no offense. the only reason i said it like that was because you were the first guy i could remember who had a major extension. i wanted my shifter shorter to look sleek so i cut mine down, i just couldn't have imagined extending it. props to you for being different with your car. kick ass Nardi steering wheel setup!

aaaah what guy wouldn't mind a few extra inches?

But as for myself, I'm happy with my short stick

Who knows, he gets bored a lot...and when he gets bored, he'll start doing anything to his car. LOL. Just last week, he went and graffiti'd his hood out of boredom. LOL.

Naw, I know you were joking. I was just joking back. lol.

But I've taken it off since then. Was kinda long. I think it was a total of 6 inches above stock. Or something like that. 3-4 Inches will be bueno for me.

Nope, just extremely bored. hahahahaha.

I do think 2" would be a modest increase. I fear 3" or 4" would hit the A/C controls. Heck, right now my middle knuckle is close to the A/C switch when I shift to 3rd gear.

cali yaris · 01-11-2009, 11:27 PM

My thinking is to pair this up with one or both NST short shifter kits, so your shifter would not hit the a/c controls.

It won't. Trust the guy with the 6 inch extension from six months ago.

ChinoCharles · 01-12-2009, 01:15 AM

I personally don't see this catching on. You'll sell 5 and it'll trail off after that.

I'd personally like to see an aftermarket replacement for the whole cage. I think the stock pivot point on the shifter assembly is a little low.
