Greddy ****
I just got my new Greddy counter weight shift ****. I love it so far, but since the **** is a lot shorter than stock, it leaves a gap between the boot and the ****.
What should I do?
Cut it?
I really don't have money for a short shifter right now.
Any suggestions?

Ghetto fix- wrap some electrical tape/ heat shrink tubing around the exposed part of the shifter.
Better fix- Get some vinyl/ leather and make a "extension" to your shift boot

I'm gonna be doing a full writeup on this at some point...
Had the same problem with my FC - the shift **** sat way up high. First off, measure and find out how much lower you want to go - on the FC I think I dropped it down an inch.
Remove the **** and hacksaw an inch off the shift lever from the top. Get a tap/die set and get the proper sized die to tap threads further down the shaft. The **** will then screw right in where you want it to go. Turned out awesome on the FC, and didn't take much work at all to accomplish.
