Has anyone bought the shortshifter off aliexpres? And does anyone know if they are any good?
You can just extend your own by an inch or two and have the same effect if you know a welder or do it yourself. I plan to do that when I get bronze bushings.
There was a thread about the aliexpress one. Consensus was it works, but rattles. Hit up Homer to get your stock shifter modified.
In Oregon, 5 Volvos in a parking lot isn't a meet, it's just a daily coincidence!
I got around to shortening my shifter with a saw and a 3d-printed strap.
Could print one up and send it in an envelope.
But shortening the top end doesn't shorten the throw...or did I miss a step?
Less chance of you punching the **** out of your center console.
Shortening the top end does shorten the throw.
You can also displace the pivot ball. That not only increases resistance, it improves the general tractor/tank transmission experience.
I already did that a few years ago. It works, but has a host of annoying issues. The shifter is also straight, and needs to be bent so you don't punch the center console.
It does in fact, shorten the shift throw though.
For the price, it's alright. I'd rather spend the ~$65 on just bronze bushings and extend the shifter myself. No chance in getting shifter rattle you'd get with the one on AliExpress.
