  1. As above

    I can't seem to find this thread for diy short shifter mod

    Can someone link me?

    I found one but it no longer has pictures
     
  2. Got one

    Is the thread long enough on that to go all the way through and put nut on end?

    I just need picture of ball location
     
  3. yes long enough for nut, be sure use Loctite. In foto ball on right is short shift locaton

  4. Can you perhaps mark the exact position in millimeters on the picture?
     
  5. Nope as don’t know but diy by popping cable connector off existing ball (with open ended spanner)and push new ball stud into loose cable socket then put drop paint on stud and align Cable and stud so it’s clear of old stud and mark the place to drill through on the gear selector arm

    20mm in from the original fixing, you will also have to cut the thread off of the bolt close by as it interferes you will see once you try to fit the cable back on
