Shorter gear stick DIY mod....
Original height.
Uncliped the gaiter and wrapped it's skirt over the head to reveal how much I could drop.
Cut the metal clip off.
Started cutting about 1" 1/4 off with a pipe cutter. (Cleaner cut than a hacksaw)
34,647,890 turns later. (Takes a while getting through 2.5mm of metal)
At this point I had to drill the groove out of the middle of the gear knob that stops it turning on the stick.
12mm drill bit sorted this.
Widened the groove that the original clip was housed in to make room for a wider jubilee clip.
Now down as far as it can go without touching anything.
Done.
Gaiter is now a bit more crumpled, but I can live with that.
Changing gear feels a lot better and feels comfy lower down.
What a great way to test it to, went up against my mate in his BMW z4 for a little blast soon after I finished it.
