There are so many threads about the short shifter mods and Marlin Crawler bushings that I figured we could use another one... lol.
No actually I just figured on asking my own question instead of resurrecting a 2 year old thread.
So I received my Momo black leather shift knob yesterday and was far too anxious to get in on there. So I did the short shift mod right away.
Pulled the whole shifter off...
snapped the rubber neck with plyers and Thor-like strength...
ditched the top black shaft...
re-assembled the shifter...
fitted the little rubber thimble on the metal shaft...
squeezed the new Momo knob overtop the rubber sleave...
screwed it in tight
fit the leather shift boot right up to the bottom of the knob..
BAM! Shorter shifter!
It's clicky and notchy, but much shorter! What do the other bushing pieces do? Remove the notchy-ness? Make it tighter? Softer? I didn't add/remove anything except that gawky black stick and I'm pleased with the outcome but am I missing something that makes it "better"?
Thx!
