Long Shifter Question

Greg Barsamian · 03-26-2011, 07:30 AM

The reason for suggesting the longer handle is the added leverage and velocity you get when pulling & pushing the shifter. The additional 2" handle started as a prototype for John & Carolyn Melendy (Goldylocks) in order for Carolyn to be comfortable in shifting her SS car. The longer handle corrects the angle for your elbow, shoulder, and wrist to shift with! As soon as I saw it, and got the reasoning for the increased lenght, I sent my shifter back for the modification.
I believe it's measured from the point where the handle bolts to the shifter body.
