Do NOT attempt to cut a pre 98 shifter... The shaft is hollow and the reverse lockout is a cable going through the shaft to a box under the car.
I have a cut shifter in my 98 SVT. Re-threaded the shaft & re-glued the reverse lockout so everything looks stock. It's
NOT the same feeling as the B&M in Jeff Labelle's car. I can't tell if it's from the angle or anything else but his feels like a true short-throw shifter. Mine just looks like it
But that's fine by me, cost=0$
