    Short-Throw Shifter: T-15

    I'm looking for an aftermarket short-throw shifter for my T-15. Does anyone know where I might be able to find one? Any info is appreciated.
    Here's to you, here's to me.
    May we never disagree.

    I doubt that one is made. To change the throw, they have to change the pivot point on the shift rod by making it taller. The T-15 is a discontinued tranny, the top cover is cast. I doubt there's enough market to cast a cover with a taller pivot point.

    But you know it does bring up a good point.. MC can you machine the bottom half of the shifter with that ball on it like to the t-176?? with a flat on it so we could bolt on a fancy hurst stick??

    Got a spare lever? We did a buddies T-18 by cutting the factory shifter just below the boot. Heated (red hot w/oxy acetylene), hammered flat on a small anvil, drilled holes to match a tall chrome hurst truck shifter. A little more heat and a twist to get the angles right, and it looked factory.

    I second what Goose said. If you want to give it a shot, I can donate a T176 shifter/top plate to the cause.
