Hey guys,

Just wondering if anyone knows if you can buy gear stick extensions anywhere?

I'm looking for something similar to this:

They come up on ebay occasionally , though are better looking than that one and generally have only one bend so the gear nob is angled back from the top of the lever . Try the usual suspects (minisport , brickworks , karcraft etc) and failing that get someone to make one .

I have one excess to requirements, barely used. I'll sell it to you complete with a new "Cooper" labelled knob for $20 + postage. PM me if you want it.

cheers

Ah bummer, sorry mick, i actually ordered it after i read your message. It arrived today, I stuck it on thisarvo. Took it for a test drive and man oh man my comfort level has increased dramatically. I no longer need to lean forward to get her into first and third (I have long legs so my seat is back as far as she goes).

It feels incredibly weird with the knob at a 45 degree angle, but i'm sure i'll get used to it.

I bought one ages ago to put on the Auto Moke. But the thread is more coarse on the Auto-stick than the extension.

Anyone know of a coarse thread one?

Cheers,

That's great Steve. When you are recovered I'd be very interested if you have got one that fits the Auto. It's a 90's one with Park. You actually sold me the shifter two or three years ago.

I fitted the taller shift knob which helps, but I could do with 2-3 extra inches so I can reach the shifter with the race harness on.

Cheers,
