Is the 7th gen short shifter just the Shaft that the shift knob bolts on to?
I found one at a wrecker and was gunna pull it out, but not sure what parts I need to grab from it.

its just the shaft, but, you'll need the washers/bolts.

hows the wndows 8 beta?


I really dig it. I was invited to Microsoft's roadmap conference up in Redmond a couple weeks ago and got to play with this Samsung Series 7 Slate (what an alliteration!)... So I bought a few and installed the consumer preview on it. It's snappy and the UI is nice. Remote desktop is MUCH better now, and Metro UI is great... there are problems with little things that go along with it being an unfinished OS, but it's promising. Microsoft is putting out a lot of nice programs and new features in the next year or so that as a Sys Admin I can't wait for.


off topic but seems to be a bit of IT folks here on the site. I was a sysadmin, network admin, and db admin in the past but I am actually originally a programmer. but now I am a project manager for an engineering organization. now I just tell others how it should be done in coordination with construction projects. wink.gif

^ whered you get your custom shift boot? looks like the material is not like the thicker drier more texture gaiter types. mines not so good.

I'm looking for a custom one that is thinner in material, shiny like the oem boots, and has less texture as much as possible.

Scion shift nob with custom plaid fabric boot. Used a product called "Fusable webbing?" to stiffen up the fabric, its a iron on product. (Thanks and props to mom! biggrin.gif )





Here is what the rest looks like, plus just because I can...

Well I made it from a wooden ball from arts and crafts store. Then I just used some fine grit sandpaper made it smooth then stained it. After that I just drilled out a bigger hole in the ball, that was a bit smaller than the shifters diameter and screw it on. Forgot where the locking screw was from, but its similar to ones that come with other ball knobs to lock them in. As for weight it's light, but the feel is just right for my short shifter. This was the last knob I changed since I did this since I liked the look of it so much, and I have been using it for over two years now.

http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_S...u=SPM5671140203 < I used something similar to this from Joanne fabrics. Why I did this is due to me being bored shopping with my girlfriend, saw the knob and it kind of just seemed like a good idea. laugh.gif

p.s. at the moment I'm still working on a bootless cover. Similar how some cars just have a cutout plate that shows the shifting path. I'll postt updates when ever I'm not studying.

.... I may be implementing this idea. That just looks fantastic.

I had done this last year but found out that the throw distance wasnt far enough to get a nice large gate like this

The pattern would need to be higher up on the stick (which would look ridiculous because it would just be this big aluminum box sticking up from the shifter hole.
I'm curious to see what your results are.
The other solution I had thought about doing was to do an aluminum plate, then figure out the max throw positions and then CNC a hole to that max diameter, and find some kind of thin rubber grommet that would fill up that space and allow for the shifter to move freely still

Thanks for the great tip. When I finally have time and materials I can get started on testing out the pattern. My goal for this was to make a low profile cover to make it feel a bit more tidy in the interior. I did notice the range of the throws are quite short, so I might end up designing something less traditional and more of an arcade joystick esque design haha.

http://www.slagcoin.com/joystick/attribute...s/joy_bunch.jpg I'll try different patterns out eventually.

i liked everyone's shifters (well i wouldn't have the bubbly "dildo" shifter but i like that y'all have the balls to do it)
i got pulled over once and the trooper instantly noticed mine. after asking me about it and lecturing me about having my front license plate
on my windshield he let me go. i guess just copy and paste the link
