Re: Short Shifter!!!
If you cut the shifter arm you can end up with a shorter throw shifter. You're better off with a different shifter or eliminating the anti-noise rubber in the shifter. Both makes the shift more precise.mocpac_ser wrote:I hear many people talking about make they shifter shorts (short shifter)

99% of people buy a new clutch because they think they need one or they abused them too much and they died a horrible, smelly death. A clutch can handle slipping a lot better than dumping. Most clutches can handle a 3,500rpm feather through first gear periodically. It's just those clowns that don't get off the pedal fast enough going through the gears or rest their foot on the pedal that end up ruining them.
Sticking an aftermarket clutch on a Daewoo is like sticking drag radials on a Chevette. Sure, it can be done, but why bother?

If you had say 200WHP or 250WHP the Lanos would be a killer car.wrath wrote: Sticking an aftermarket clutch on a Daewoo is like sticking drag radials on a Chevette. Sure, it can be done, but why bother?
For the money it's the best deal out there....I picked my lanos up as a second car for going back and fourth to work.....paid $9900 CDN ($7200 USD) brand spankin new. Now you can pick them up for $3500 USD.... I think they will make a great tuner platform once some real cash is dumped into it and some aftermarket parts come out for the engines.
Equivilently I could have picked up a 1995 Civic DX for about the same money. hmmmm let me see.... seven year old Civic with 130,000km on it or a brand new Lanos....well you know what I picked.

Oh ya...
I do know a guy with drag slicks on a Chevette.... but then again he has a Buick 350 V8 with somewhere in the neighborhood of 550hp.
He had to weld a full tubular subchassis to keep the little beast from tearing in half but it is unbelievably fast and extreemly light.
I don't remember what he runs in the 1/4 mile but I know he was running low 12's with his previous car which weighed twice as much (1974 Chev Nova)
For fun he takes stock chevette tires and burns them into a pile of liquid rubber.... heck of a smoke show... I think he gets the tires for free... has a deal with a local autowrecker.
I've even seen him make the car hop in the air when the wheelie bars are removed....its a very strange sight to see a Chevette do things like that.

Thanks for the info,
I have a 2001 Lanos sport 1.6L 5 speed hatchback. Which models of these short shifters will fit my car (as in, what should make/model car should I say I have?) and do I need to purchase a shift nob seperately?
Also, anyone know a good place to buy a knob that will fit a these short shifters? I actually have been wanting an aftermarket shift knob, but I don't feel like taking a hacksaw to a car under fully warrenty.

2+ inches? what about the reverse lock?
about the aftermarket clutch, you can go to a local shop and ask to build a custom clutch
i have a "stage 4 like" clutch, something like this, my friction plate, and flywheel are "balanced" for this clutch.
oh i forgot my clutch does not have springs... so you guess its a pain on high trafic hours... because when its heat up creates a lot of vibration on the car but its worth it
