Subject: Re: Shortened A4 shifter mod by shakedown067 on 2010/3/8 19:47:04 Yep, just picked up a cheap pipe cutter at harbor freight. Used it to cut the shaft and the groove for the snap ring. I cut the shaft first, then had to be careful cutting the snap ring groove as only one of the rollers was in contact with the shaft. It ended up working out though. Just cut off the linkage with a dremel, cut the slots for the shifter knob with stacked cutting wheels on the dremel for the desired width, and drilled a hole in the shifter button linkage so the button would stay locked in place. It was quite easy. The biggest thing was actually getting the depth right on the grooves for the shifter button. Making them slightly deeper (1/16th), the button is easier to push down (requested by my wife). |
