Default Shorten manual stick

I already have the short shift mod, but I woulld like to actually cut or shorten the actual stick shaft. Can I just saw the shaft and rethread to be able to reattach the TRD shift ****? Or does someone sell a DIY kit?

It's been done. My friend cut his and re-threaded it. I forgot what the thread size was tho. I do remember that the stick was very hard to cut.

I cut mine using a dremel tool i put a towel around the area so that I didn't get metal or burn the area. It was actually pretty easy. Just use a cutting wheel on the dremel and you can even cut titatium I've done it before it took a LONG time but dremels rule.

an inch or so would work just fine. don't forget you have to account for the top 1/2" thats going to be rethreaded, so you dont want to cut too much.
