So i decided to modify my integra dual bend shifter today.It starter with two throttle body bearings i got from a dodge stratus throttle body.I then got a piece of pipe about an inch in length for the bearings to press into.
Here is what i started with:
From there i cut the previous lower portion of the shifter off and and i extended it an inch.With the 1'' long pipe i welded a bolt to it and extended it where i was comfortable with.
I then filled the bolt in with weld and ground it down so it looks half sensible.
Heres a pick of the bearings pressed in like you would get with an aftermarket shifter.Why buy new when with some time make your own for nothing ;)
I installled it after i finished.What a difference from upgrading to bearings over a bushing/rubber o-ring style.The shifts are just right too.Anyways i hope somebody gets this idea and uses it for thier shfter in the future. Cheers
