What's the most patrician of all shift knobs?

It's gotta be unpleasant shifting something that long

I always thought a cavalry sabre shifter would be neat if done right.

Eh, a lot of older manual-trans pickup trucks had really long shifters. I've driven an '83 F250 and a '92 F150 with long shifters and it's not bad at all. It's not like they're a racecar so you're really not concerned about speed-shifting while you're driving them. The extra height makes it quite comfortable to rest one hand on the shift knob while you're driving.

...

That would be sick, if you had a drill press you could probably make one yourself

I am actually disgusted by this

tfw you'll never have a knife hidden in your shifter like pic related.

I really like Hondas old ones

Not really makes shifts feel wayyyyy fucking important if not slow as fuck.

Not that you could shift fast in those old transmssions anyways, as they're far from being smooth and tight.

that's not what your mum said when she was polishing my knob last night

...

I don't think they have anything to connect to anymore

This was never funny

>faggot can't deal with the fact I shift gears with a wooden duck

...

Sadly no, it doesn't work and there's no service for them anymore. I just leave it there because I like it

good on ya man that's pretty cool

It's a mallard

>Plus it's illegal to talk on the phone while driving in commiefornia

I'd have to pull over to make a call lol

>following the law in cali

fuck the law dude
just put the receiver down when the cops are near

If I ever find a way to get it working I'll make calls in front of police for you guys

Pleb

thanks bucko

w-where is it

Would it be possible to connect it to your cell phone?

Not sure, it has a cable that leads to the ecu or behind the firewall. But the cable is just a normal phone cable

...

three on the tree

dubs witnessed.

Paddle shifters or else it's trash like the rest of manual cuckmissions

>Resting hand on shift knob while driving
What's wrong with you

i had an old school bus that looked like that
so fun to drive the old logging roads

>What's wrong with you

He watched too much Initial D.

not him but my shift linkages are way too worn for it to have any effect

My old one broke and I never really got around to getting a replacement.
I found a bike peg in my garage that just so happened to have the same size threads as my shift knob, so thats what im currently using.
My choke broke too so i stuck a bike brake lever on the shift stick, since the cable was the perfect length to reach the carb.

You should see my dad's 66 F-100's stick. It's about as long as my arm.

...

But that's a hip bone.

holy shift, i'd really love to see this

I really want this but I don't care to pay 170 shekels or whatever they're charging for it

Make you own? Don't you have a drill press and a tap set?

>this

Growing up driving tractors and large trucks makes me want for a longer lever on everything. Both my Miata and my current Tacoma have extenders. I like the short shifters but that long throw just feels right for some reason.

Super comfy in things with:
a) long shifters
b) big torquey motors
c) trans worn so it doesn't matter

Stock.

yes but I'm not sure what to use material-wise. no need to tap either, BMW shifters don't use threads

:^)

Surprisingly it was the only thing I could find that matched the rest of the interior; if you saw it in person, it's actually pretty nice. The P.O. had the entire shifter wrapped in electrical tape and the stock rubber corrugated shift boot all fucked up around the top near the knob. So I ripped all of that shit out and literally only had a crown royal bag from a friends crown royal on hand.

keep it

what does the bike brake actually do on those old things

It's connected to the knife-bone

>when you realize it's on a scion tc

front brake

it's the clutch, user only has one foot

What?
I just told you guys its the choke.

Are you PATRIOT ENOUGH SON?
Also woody blanket shift boot is second

neat.
Do the buttons do anything?

No, but you get to yell "FOX THREE" as you press them.

He should rig therm up with nitrous, scramble boost, or maybe just the BOV

Make it into some bluetooth interface for your phone, powered by the cord of course. Also clean your car before showing it off you disgusting animal.

>broken shift boot to fit that heinous shit
Kill yourself this instant, young man

...

When will I be rid of all these gears?

are you a bad enuff dude?

Where else do you put your hand?

On your other shift stick :^)
