well tried to make a flp style shifter befor but it was a complete bust but actually was not bad just needed some redesigning. anyway bought some round stock at lowes for 7 bucks and spent bout 4 hours making this, most is test fitting and measuring. it fits perfectly if the battom part was any longer it would be touching the floor. shorter shift than my b and m that retails for 160 got it for 40. pics explain everyting
perfect height, throw, etc

Thats actually pretty cool. Good work Matt. Hows it sit in the car? I assume the point was to get the shifter closer to the steering wheel.

it is exactly like the flp throw, position, height. i measured 4door's also the bottom is al low as it can go w/o hitting the floor so the shift can be any shorter. actually a tad shorter than the b and m. will have pics in car in a minute if my cam will take pics when its this dark.

Looks pretty good to me for a second try if it is only your second

if i were wanting the shifter to be closer to the steering wheel, i would buy an EP3.

would not work with a civic shifter unless you can weld because you need the stock pivot point/ fulcrum

So what are you going to do about a shift knob?
