My Bad! You are the Neo-ultra- supremo Masochist.

To add to your pleasure/pain, hook on to the shifter 'E' clips with wires, turn the lights out - and 'pull the pin'.
After the chop mods are made, and the springs/fig 8/ ... found - reinstall using hand pressure only, no vise, no safety wire: that way, the hard won title above will be secure!

On the serious side, the GT and chopped version are both 215mm total length. The available 'short shifter' dimensions ... ? I could have cut further, as perhaps Chuck did. Just pick a height that is comfortable if the original is still in the car - and cut ( after disassembly as above).

Thanks Garth. Would it be easier if the TT was out of the car? I know it would. Everything is.

Sterling,

Where did you get the shift pattern insert? Is it a custom job? I like the red "R" as an extra warning.
