What's up guys. I just bought an auto shift knob and I like it a lot... the only problem is that it sits a little to high for my liking. I'm thinking about cutting the shaft a couple inches for a cleaner look. How do I go about this and what should I look out for? This won't screw up anything else will it?

I wouldnt do it, the button that shifts it into gear will be cut and you will be screwed!!!

There's no way to just cut the outer shaft and then cut the inner "button" rod? I thought that they were just metal rods.....? Perhaps with a pipe cutter and then a dremel tool for the inner button rod?:confused:

Thank you very much... that's kinda how I had it pictured in my head. Just wanted to make sure.... guess I'm buying a pipe cutter after work!
