Drivetrain How can I get the length of shifter that an '05 MC has?
How can I get the length of shifter that an '05 MC has?
I was down at D&R MINI today and was throwing around a '05 MC. It of course had a 5 speed but the gear lever/**** combo felt alot shorter in lenght than my '05 MCS stock and shorter than my '05 MCS now with a Whalen.
I want my gear lever/**** combo to be that short.
What is a solution?
I have already searched and found threads where people have cut part of their's off. I want to AVOID this if at all possible. I am not getting rid of my Whalen so I want a stock fittament. So really the only thing I can see happening is cutting down the shift lever at the bottom, or just installing an MC shift lever?
Any Help?

leave ur rod alone
i agree w/ripley..... on Alta s/s its an adjustable height or lengh on d' shift rod it self, leave ur rod alone
u will need an adapter 4 d' Whalen **** which comes w/Alta s/s purchase (i believe so not sure check w/Alta on this)
