i dont think it will make a difference. But maybe a hack saw will work.

well i believe B&M short shifter for the auto NO LIE when i went and got mine the guy asked me 5 speed or auto but i guess you could take a hacksaw to it i dont really know how the auto shifter is set up if there is a button then you would have to do some adjusting with that

although it may seem a bit 'weird' or dumb, this really makes the auto look way better than stock.<p>i used a hacksaw on mine. takes a bit of muscle and time since you need to cut it at weird angles and positions because of where the location of the shifter is.

does someone have a guide on this procedure?

i have an ATX shifter and everything that goes with it, from my MTX swap. it looks real easy to cut. i was going to do it myself but i blew the tranny. if any one wants it to mess with it, just ask.
there are several companys that make auto shift knobs as well. but they dont have a hold button.

i cut half of the shifter off...i took off the stock knob and put in a new boot and knob...ripped the hold button out of the stock knob and relocated it..cake

ok this could be just me but um anything that involves

"just use a hacksaw it should do the trick" in the instructions may not be the best course of action lol.

best of luck with that, i like the position of the ****fer makes for a nice arm rest i find.

[monty73741]

alli got to say, thats one of the most orginal ideas i have seen in a while, he want to shorten it to make it look kool, not for racing, i say u go work with what u got

[Sonicxtacy02]

I shortened mine 4 inches. It looks better that way. I really dont see the need for any grief here. He wasnt asking for racing purposes.

well i want to do the same thing. I put an aftermarket shifter on and it looks real bad.Its to high....Check out a pic of it http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/438318/2 Look at it stock it sticks to far up and it would look alot better shorter but I think I am a little scared of the hacksaw idea lol
