Oh jeez -- I'm glad I'm not your son. Besides, it's puzzling that you own a Porsche since they seem to do most everything the "wrong way", including their own short-shifter ;^)

In any case, my shifter is now about 2" shorter -- slightly shorter than the palm of my hand -- just the way I want it, (it feels so good to be wrong ;^)

Oh jeez -- Sorry for being wrong. I was just always told NOT to cut them in order to make a short shifter. Seems kind of a cheap and crapy way to do it. I'm not the only person that thinks this. It may just depend on the type of car. Most people I have talked to about this laugh when they hear that someone cut their shifter in order to MAKE a short shifter. Just like cutting your stock springs to make your car lower instead of buying good quality ones that are MADE corectly. You don't have to agree, but just tell your local machanic what you did and see if they don't laugh at you.
