I was wondering if anyone has seen an aftermarket shifter for the people who have stick trucks?I would like the look's of an old school pistol grip,I think that would be really cool.Thanks.

 

I don't have a stick in my truck, but my '02 Jeep is a manual, and if you pry the numbers out of the middle with a really small screwdriver, there should be a nut locking the stock shifter on there, once it's removed you should be able to unscrew the stocker, and screw anything w/ the correct threads on there. Make sure before you get anything too big it clears the dash, not sure if that's an issue in the truck....

 

lol i ve been trying to look for some sort or shortthrow for my manual trans 4.7 can find anything , i know that hurst makes that pistol grip shifter for the truck though

 

i have a t shifter guess that what you call it iits flat and looking at it from the front looks like a T wish i had a cam right now would so a pic of it got if from husrst from autozone lor oriles love it gives it more of a feel then the ball shifter that comes with the stock. would like to find a aftermarket short throw myself though

 

why put a short throw in a truck tho? wouldnt you be forced to reach down all the time to shift?

 

I don think they actually mean a shorter stick sift but rather a closer shift pattern this way you an sift with less time and faster.. not 100% sure tho.

 

That's what it means. Short throw shifter allows you to make quicker shifts. I couldn't find one for our trucks either.

 

there is someone in the dakota forum with a 2000 4.7 5 speed and he just did a hurst short throw shifter in his truck look for "TheePlayMaker" <-- thats his username

 

hmm....ill have to see where hes at ..but ya you would have to reach for the shifter just a tineeee bit but lol ....guess what ..i shifted this long as stick so hard and fast that ive broke the housing twice lol im really needed that short throw..and to be honest with the length of them now it would be nice...they make one for the high and mighty srt 10 but not the our small 287 ci 4.7's.

 

oh and to add to that ....i had a similar thread like this a month ago and one of these guys told me , (with a snarly face) , " well , the 4.7 ltr isnt able to handle fast , strong shifts like that with a manual, you should only shift at - LMAO - 4000 RPMS!! ,and blah blah blah " well heres what i have to say to that ..why the f**K did i buy a v8 then?? to ***** around town like a little b**h? NO , i bought it to drive the living f****g crap out of it daM**it ! sorry guys little drunk at the moment !!!!!~~ im just quite pissed that he would say that
