Curious Question? Floor shifter design?
ok..I have a Dumb Question......I have the 4Speed tranny where the shifter almost hits the seat in R and almost the Dash in 1rst (not asking what kind) and I was considering puting buket seats in my truck one prob: My girl can sit in the middle,and cant fit any more than one buddy saftly....But What the Heck, with that Dad'Gum shifter who can sit there comfortably.....my question is why not redesign the shfter:Problem: 4x4 . T-Case shifter: so why not redesign that to move it over a bit......So...is there a way to move my shfter over for more room and with out hiting the 4x4 shifter....Has any one done it....? or should i just forget about the room and Go with Buckets.....?any Idea's (YesI know this is confuseing thread)

You can "modify" the handle to your hearts content. Just remove the handle from the tranny and heat/bend/weld it. If my failing memory serves me right, just un-screw the lid that hold the handle and it lifts out.
You can not alter the actual throw length, that is pre-set by the way the tranny is built. It all has to do with pivots and ratio's. All factory designed and nothing you can do. Sorry.
