Thats a weird remote shifter. Pass

 

we wouldnt make it remote though.

 

Why would you want it even closer?

 

I see what you are saying. Interesting.

 

Found some more interesting stuff about the shifter.

The mustang shifter has a long plate that goes out in front, and would interfere with the stock shifter box in my plan. It also has these weird rounded edges that go around the trans.

Plan is to have a chunk of aluminum that bolts onto the stock shifter "box" and extends past the end of the trans. And then bolt a shifter onto that. Well it turns out the s10 shifter has an almost square mounting plate, and mounts on a flat surface. So no hacking up the stock shifter.

Oh and my roommate has an s10 with a t5, and is out of town until mid january

Win.

 

You know I have my Mustang shifter mounted backwards. The camaro also has a square one. But only the mustang has the 40 dollar ebay adjustable one. The other versions are 150+.

 

The S10 one doesn't have the turned down edges though.

And link to adjustable? In what way

 

My Mustang one doesn't have turned down edges. If you search eBay for Mustang t5 shifter you'll find it. They have adjustable centering force, modular stick, and adjustable stops.

 

This one?

Yup

 

Could you measure the diameter of the base of the shifter cylinder thingy.

 

its uh like 3 inches. I'll measure it sunday.

 

Its 3.5 inches.

Havent measured top of yoke to shift rod, but my shifter is like right above the yoke and clears.

 

Is your shifter mounted the same height as the normal shift block? I went to find driveshafts and everyone want 75 for something I didn't need.

 

yes. If you're getting a custom driveshaft I know my shop prefered to have me put the actual yoke in the car and measure the length to the center of the yoke instead of doing it the way I saw to do it online.

 

I didn't want to buy anything without talking to a driveshaft shop first.

 

Would this not work?

 

Picture is broken for me.

 

Hmmm.. I can see it on the mobile and desktop site.

Its a simple bar that mounts to the T5 shifter, found it on one of the V8 Miata sites.

 

Sure that might work. I just didn't like how that works. I'm hoping my extended shift rod idea works.
