question about 5-speed sticks and how to...

[95DGcamaro]

i want to shorten my stick cuz its like 5 miles long...

they have the shafts for 45 bucks to shorten but they are made for the 6-speed which is a 2-piece shaft.

They have shorteners from lous short stick thing...but it says

i have a borg warner 5-speed according to RPO codes.. but there isnt a hurst option... PLZ HELP [img]graemlins/crybaby.gif[/img]

In the huge camaro technical book that the dealerships get makes it look like mine is one whole piece that connects to the transmission...

The Hurst Billet Plus shifter will fit your car, and that stick will work with the shifter.
Check the Mods Encyclopedia, it talks about that shifter with Lou's Short Stick.

i looked there originally. but how can i just shorten it without spending 130 bucks?

that means i have to buy the hurt shifter and then get a new stick after that?

Yup. That's about the only way, since you can't change the stick.

Do you have access to a tap and dye?

Just the dye?

Call a machine shop I bet they can help you.

You can chop yours off and dye it...or maybe even somehow use Lou's short stick...but if you want a shorter throw, you'll need an aftermarket shifter. Either of the first options just makes the stock shorter, not the throw.
