Hi guys just wanna know if u can get a short shifter for a tip tronic model and where could i get one or if you know anyone who has one for sale cheers

A short shifter for a tip?

Lol why on earth would you need that the gearstick goes up or down.

Just for fun, wanted to know if it was possble to install one

I don't think you will find a short shifter for the tip but the + and - are just 2 switches telling the tip ecu what to do.

You might have better luck mounting two switches on your steering wheel or under your left foot.

cheers mate just wanted to know

You can get a shorter gear stick if that's what you mean.

But that's different to a "short shift".

where would i get one like that?

ya i am loking for a short gear stick it does not say anything at where to find one i know how to remove the gear stick though can i actually cut through the one that already there, can't seem to find any on ebay what shoudl i be looking for?

I have the same gear knob but with teh current stock shift it is too tall to fit it properly so i need a shorter one

i was lookin threw google pics the other night and saw a fto with tip but he had the paddles on the steering wheel ill try find it again


found it http://www.freakyparts.co.uk/epages/es1 ... addle-0001

ok cool thanks

edited above but you will need a boss steering wheel by the sounds of it if you buy it or get one made

i think i would prefer to get a shorter gear stick for my fto any idea what i should do cheers

Cut down the shaft to make it smaller.

can u do that?? do u cut the shaft from the top right?

The shaft is just a hollow metal tube with a plastic piece running down the middle.

You want to measure the amount of plastic that over hangs the metal tube before you begin, then just cut the metal tube to your desired height without cutting the plastic. Finally, cut the plastic so that you are left with the same amount of overhang as you started with.

any chances of getting some pics so i know what i am working with?

You might be better taking your own apart examining it.

Gives you a better mental picture than what we could show you.

i have seen a guy cut his down and place a wood style shift dont remmember what site it was on but he shows how he did it ill try find it again
