I'm writing this post with a few questions about the shifter mod, could you please help.

How much did you cut off the length of the shifter rod? Is it the same diameter all the way down or did you cut it off short of any taper or is it too shallow of a taper to worry about? What thread is the die (I'll need to borrow one from work)? How extensive is it to rip apart the whole thing (how much time will it add to the mod)? What grease is recommended to re-lube the shifter/assembly?

Thank-you.
