looks like it beats my cut and welded short shifter. If anyone wants to try it out im sure the community would be greatful. Id love to but funds are coming up short right now. Looks like that would shorten actual throw with the lengthened fulcrum as opposed to just shortening the **** height that happens when you cut the stock shifter. If anyone has tried this i would love to know the results as well

i think the only issue would be its ability to bolt right up. The part that bolts down looks different than stock
