need recomandations for a shorter shift ter rod

[rapieper at yahoo.com (Ron Pieper)]

Van:

Get an M12-1.5 die and die holder.  With the shifter in the car, run the well-lubricated die down
the existing threads and about an inch onto the unthreaded part of the shaft.  Hacksaw off the old
threads, unthread the die, clean up the top threads with a file, screw on your shift knob.  Voila!
shorter shifter rod.  Takes 10 minutes.  

Cost is zero if you have the die already.

Go figure, *me* suggesting something that costs *nothing*.
