You'll need an aftermarket shift knob with set screws to hold it on.

i'm using the MOMO anatomic short shift knob

i got an extra sogi modded shifter. if you want it, pm me and shoot me an offer.
here are a couple of pics of it off the car.

break the stick in two, take the top half to the hardware store, get the correct size die, cut threads in the lower part (you have to cut it a little shorter- many people don't like it that short)

or-

weld the stock threads back on top.

Just say no to sogi shifter.

^ word, not even a "real" short throw shifter.

 

[theKnifeArtist]

lets not turn this into a yay or nay sogi mod thread, i've already read through those. i'm doin the mod and had a couple questions.

so all i do is break off the top and then get a die and thread the tip of it?

I love my sogi shifter, and im sure id love a C's better, but not all of us have that type of money to play around with.

^^^ ding ding ding

same here

No one said you need a C's just a shifter that actually makes you shifter SHORTER!

I'm willing to race anyone with a sogi mod and laugh as they grind...

stock shifter leverage FTW

 

[ImperfectSupra]

okay no bs. i had a sogi and now using a mookeh. i like the sogi because it is angle better, the mookeh has a shorter throw. and i chopped it shorter. anything with a raised pivot point is better and even better if its angle right

You're on.

i like mine. but it was such a struggle to break that damn rubber

 

[YouGotSpooled]

Ive never grinded with the sogi mod. Its just nice not to hear "holy shit that shifter is huge."

 

[adampecush]

The only problems I had with the SOGI mod were grinding into third gear, but that was due to tired synchros in the transmission. I'm pretty sure that I will have no more issues with a rebuilt transmission and sogi shifter.

knife artist,

here are some pics of my sogi mod w/ MOMO anatomic short shift knob..FYI the shift knob feels damn good! and for $45 too.

I like my C's
