Greetings. You also decided to follow the fashion for a long gear lever))). I have another idea. I want to make the gearshift lever closer to the driver's seat, while leaving its length and cover as from the factory. There is a hatch in the floor near the seat. I think you saw him. I'll try to give you an idea about the case, which turned out to be short. Try to take another one from disassembly and glue one to the other). Take the lower part from one, the upper from the other. Or, as a cover, take a stainless steel pipe with a thin wall, but it will require work on a lathe). Приветствую. Ты тоже решил следовать моде на длинный рычаг переключения передач ))). У меня другая задумка. Я хочу сделать так, чтобы рычаг переключения передач был ближе к сиденью водителя, При этом оставить его длинну и чехол как с завода. Возле сиденья же есть люк в полу. Я думаю ты его видел. Попробую подать тебе идею по поводу чехла, который оказался коротким. Попробуй взять еще один на разборке и склеить один с другим ). От одного возьми нижнюю часть, от другого верхнюю. Или в качестве чехла взять трубу из нержавеющей стали с тонкой стенкой, но там нужны будут работы на токарном станке ).

😂 hey Sergey. I use to have the long shifter before, than I make it back short. You can feel the difference while changing gears 😀. But to be honest with you, I don’t understand your idea, I think because the translation, but you want to make it closer to the driver seat, but the shifter originally is close enough, right? Same with the length 😆 original is really long enough, I just do it to have something different for some time.

@@HalfThrottleTom Everything is correct. I want to try moving the lever to the driver's seat. From the factory it is located exactly in the middle between the seats. It’s not a fact that it will work out))). Все правильно. Я хочу сделать попробовать перенести рычаг к сиденью водителя. С завода он находится ровно по середине между сидениями. Не факт, что получится ))).

@@Sergey_Bryansk Got ya. Original shifter is coming out of the floor in the middle, between driver and passenger seat, but the actual shifter is leaning to the left, towards the driver seat, (at least mine is) so the top of the shifter is actually much closer to the driver, so you want to make it even closer ?

Yes. I want to try to do it like on a European Volvo with a hood. It seems to have the index "NH", I could be wrong. If you're not too lazy, look for a photo on the Internet. With this technical solution, the lever will not tilt to the left, towards the driver’s seat, but will stand vertically.

@@Sergey_Bryansk yeah. I just checked, NH have the shifter just next to the driver seat 👍🏼

Why? Why would you want to?

😀 it’s not something I like. Just something different. A lot of drivers love it, and a lot of drivers make fun of it. I got it before for few months, than I make it back short, now is gonna be the same. I’ll have it for some time than I’ll remove it.

Monkey shifters are the stupidest thing I've ever seen 😳

I agree 😀. This time 340 miles was enough for me, I’m back to original length.
