so, I finally got around to finishing my short shifter setup. I have had the neuspeed adapter for a few months now, I cut my shifter down to right above the bend, and welded my old threaded piece back on. Just ordered the part # 08999-BAK-100 so I can match the boot up to my new Skunk 2 weighted knob that I ordered. Will post pics shortly!

If it was welded with the right heat range than the weld is stronger than the metal around it. If it is a bad weld then I would see a safety issue, but his weld looks good
wow...im speechless.. this is as ghetto as it comes, shirt shifters arent too expensive dude you should have just bought 1. And i would agree with 02BLKCIVIC you should have just cut it and rethread it

I just wanted to try something different guys, I already had the neupseed adapter so I figured I would just cut the lever....it won't break, I welded the crap out of this thing, worked hard so it would be right.....it will be just fine. Will post pics when I get the adpater and the skunk2 knob! If it does in fact break, I can always get the revo....this will suffice and will work!
i mean no disrespect, but the welding job seems a bit hinky...

I am so ****ed. I removed the manifold but the 4 top screws that secure it, well, I broke all 4. I took a big breaker bar and wasn't thinking about which direction I was going, and I turned clockwise. Holy ****! I thought I loosend them but I tightened and broke them!
^ lol that thing won't break, he welded it pretty good

No but I wish I could. I understand about the weld being stronger than the original metal if it's done right but in order for him to be right it has to work 100% of the time. In order for him to be wrong, it only has to fail once. I hope it works out and he did what we're afraid to do (I've personally seen this done many times as well as people cutting springs) but I'd still be afraid to drive it. Especially since I know nothing about welding and can't tell by looking at it how good it is.

well end of day Friday, the shift knob did not arrive today....so I am expecting it Monday morning. Will post pictures on Monday when everything is in. So far it looks and feels great. The shfot boot adapter looks like it will be perfect this knob. It works perfect with my existing knob.... SWEET! Very anxious for my SKUNK2 400 gram knob!
