Have seen a couple of gen3's on here with the DIY short shift gear knob, I have seen a post which is related to the gen1 and 2 but not one for the gen3. Unless I'm not lookin hard enough...
Anyone got the knowledge??
Any help appreciated

what do you need to know? plenty of cheapish kits about.be warned its not everyones cup of tea

If you are after a short shifter, i have two available for the Gen3+

£40 including P&P if you want one mate

Just lookin to decrease the length of the gear shaft itself really I saw a couple pics on photobooth of a guy in shropshire who managed to whip it out and chop it down wondered if it's possible with the gen3's. Not too short though. And aren't the short shift kits quite pricey..?

Obviously not then! And no "whip it out and chop it down" wasn't a euphemism
What you guys reckon?

id buy one off del boy mc183.he's been pretty reliable since they let him out of prison
no seriously thats a very reasonable price and you'll get everything you need without dropping a do do.
but if your unsure about length try one first on someones car.faz hates mine

Well that price aint too shabby ay. What's to hate about em? Will I hate it more than feeling like I'm rowing a boat every time I change gear?

alot tend to feel stiff
and a short stick does not suit everyones hand.....or gear knob

Hmmmmmm
I have stock gearknob which isnt big but it aint small, also was given another one as a gift about half inch longer. With the short shift kit will I have to trim it down or is it short anyway?

mine

looks fine to me
I'm guessin I'll have to trim the gaiter down as well

you assume correct

Thanks for your help m8 I'm gonna take up del boys offer I think

why not? be rude to turn down a good offer

ill get some photos taken tomorrow evening when im home for you mate with some measurements so you can see the product.

Only got 2 as i ordered one for the Gen1 which never turned up, so complained and then sent me another one, both then ended up turning up and they were for the Gen 3.

Cost me £75 for it, so £40 for each and it covers P&P too so im not making a loss on them.

killer
ta very much!

thats a bloody good deal.

I absolutely LOVED the one on my gen 1 - to start with i had a sore left bicep for a few days but thats coz im a plank. Fantastic mod

you having number 2 then andy?

To give you an idea of size, its a tiny bit bigger than a sky+ remote

looks good to me
does it have instructions on how to fit?

just that and the box unfortunately mate, sure there is a walkthrough on here somewhere mind, or dupleman could run you through it im sure.

hope so! i wouldnt have a clue how to fit it
im sure its here somewhere
