Eh, a lot of older manual-trans pickup trucks had really long shifters. I've driven an '83 F250 and a '92 F150 with long shifters and it's not bad at all. It's not like they're a racecar so you're really not concerned about speed-shifting while you're driving them. The extra height makes it quite comfortable to rest one hand on the shift knob while you're driving.

Not really makes shifts feel wayyyyy fucking important if not slow as fuck.

Not that you could shift fast in those old transmssions anyways, as they're far from being smooth and tight.

Not sure, it has a cable that leads to the ecu or behind the firewall. But the cable is just a normal phone cable

My old one broke and I never really got around to getting a replacement.
I found a bike peg in my garage that just so happened to have the same size threads as my shift knob, so thats what im currently using.
My choke broke too so i stuck a bike brake lever on the shift stick, since the cable was the perfect length to reach the carb.

>this

Growing up driving tractors and large trucks makes me want for a longer lever on everything. Both my Miata and my current Tacoma have extenders. I like the short shifters but that long throw just feels right for some reason.
>>
>>15072826
Super comfy in things with:
a) long shifters
b) big torquey motors
c) trans worn so it doesn't matter

Stock.

>>15073017
yes but I'm not sure what to use material-wise. no need to tap either, BMW shifters don't use threads

Surprisingly it was the only thing I could find that matched the rest of the interior; if you saw it in person, it's actually pretty nice. The P.O. had the entire shifter wrapped in electrical tape and the stock rubber corrugated shift boot all fucked up around the top near the knob. So I ripped all of that shit out and literally only had a crown royal bag from a friends crown royal on hand.
