gated shifter? - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #95319 5 posts Started by cavernouspluto
has anyone tired to make a gated shifter bezel instead of a boot? I've tried to search for it but have had no luck. maybe i should just measure the shift points and try it.
If I recall correctly the shifter throw isn't long enough for a gated bezel

why is the throw length too short? the shifter follows a set course when you shift. if that course is measured and the correct tolerances added then why wouldn't it work? sure the gates might look a bit short if that may be the case.
It's not that the gates are short, they overlap. I wanted a gated plastic cover but ended up just having a hole. I still prefer that compared to the leather booth.
