I searched but couldnt find this. What can you do if you dont waan weld the extension peices in? I had read somewhere that you can bend the shifter knobs. Has anyone done this? If so please let me know how Thanks in advance

Also you can get a short throw shifter kit from Roger or Marlin:

I've never bent one but I've heard you can do it if you're careful not to bend the part that goes into the gearbox.

 

Yea i looked through those. I need a quick fix, I dont have time to order a shifter. I had just read somewhere you can bend the shifters and they will work but I cant remember where I read it. I was hoping someone on here had read it and knows where to find it

 

A quick fix? You are asking for trouble. Do it right or don't do it.

Why do you need to bend the shifter knobs for anyway? I've done numerous body lifts and never had to do such a thing.

 

I cant shift at all. I only have 1st, 3rd, and 5th after the install. And my transfer shifter keeps popping back into neutrla now

 

Take off the boot thats whats doing it.

 

Ok Related Question..My bodylift didnt come with shifter extension and it says I didnt need it for my 86. I had to cut my floor over an inch to one side and cant run a boot whatsoever. So did my truck really need an extension or should I just buy a shifter

 

I am running it without the boot right now but it is noisy as hell I wanna find a way to get the boot back in there. Shortyz if you want a pair of extensions I will mail you these.

 

I cut the middle out of the metal plate around my shifter boot to get it to stay in reverse, didn't work. I ended up taking the shifter out and heat bending it towards the front about 1 1/2 in. Been working great for about 3 years. BTW I've got a 2 in. body lift.

 

Mine is a 2" as well. That was what i was wanting to hear. I am going to go heat it up and see what i can do. Thanks for all the replies guys!!

 

If you're going to bend do it cold because heat ruins the rubber insulator stuff inside the shifter.

 

What should I do just get a bar and wrench on it?
