Default Rock Crusher Shift Arm

Well, if your lazy like me, you hate the long throw of the S197 shifter. I've been wanting to do this for a while but wouldn't pay what UPR charges for the arm. I found one at the races this past weekend so here it is :metal: After driving around town with it I love it. It has a great balance, you feel a lot more control over the shifter itself - probably because of the leverage aspect. The ball is also extremely comfy, the only downside is it gets pretty warm in the sun!

Neutral:



1st, 3rd, & 5th:



2nd, 4th, & Reverse:



And my new ball:

Not my taste but if you like it cool, its deff different. Cant really use your front cupholder any more, although i never use mine becuase if theres anything in the front i have change my arm postion when i shift. My phones always in front one any way.

Haha I don't keep drinks in my car so it's not an issue! Thanks!

When it comes to my interior I take a function over form approach especially on my shifter. Its comfortable and is a hell of a lot easier swapping gears aggressively, so I dig it!

To solve the hanging so low issue, I think I'll drop the shifter down a few inches and cut/weld it a few degrees higher. Should fix that no problem, I like to keep my phone there as well!
