the evo x has the paddle shifters, AND a regular shifter, that is ALSO an ATX shifter.

so ATX shifter for the paddles, and regular shifter otherwise. evo x owners sometimes complain about the shifter being too low, so that one is raised up.

that just looks complicated

well if you think about a normal atx shifter it has a button you press to shift between gears. that's what the red lever is for. other than that nothing complicated really.

Ebay . . . years ago.

Ebay . . . years ago.

Lawl everyone wants one, I'll not look, so that you can keep the originality. I seen it on a body kit selling website a few months ago, I just cant remember which one

 

[2GbTalonGuy]

Here is mine. OEM weighted leather wrapped one.

 

[SpawnedX]

Dude, your shifter is so cut, .

 

[2GbTalonGuy]

Haha, nope. All OEM. I'll snap a few pics of it with the original one on for you when I get a chance.

 

[SpawnedX]

There is no way dude, my B&M with the same shift knob is taller.

 

[2GbTalonGuy]

You're not the only one to say that, but if I throw a normal one on it looks normal. I have had it all apart and there is no cut or odd weld marks or grinds on it.

 

[SpawnedX]

Perhaps it is a 1G unit?

 

[2GbTalonGuy]

I thought of that actually, and compared it to my old parts whore, and it is in fact a 2G unit.

 

[dsm03]

Okay, first thats way too short to be a 2G oem rod.

Two, can 2G's use 1G Shifter Rods? I hate the school bus look,

 

[2GbTalonGuy]

It is though. Like I said, I will post some more pics when I get a chance, I think part of the confusion is with the angle of the close up pic, if you look at the farther back pic, it doesn't look as short.

 

[SpawnedX]

How did you clean your carpets again?

 

[2GbTalonGuy]

A carpet cleaner called "Spot Shot". It's nasty shit though. If you get it on any plastic in your interior, you want to wipe it off right away with soap and warm water, or armorall or other interior cleaner.

 

[necrotopsy]

i'm with spawnedX that shifter looks way too short to be factory. it looks shorter then the B&M definitely

 

[2GbTalonGuy]

Ok, just you wait, I will try to get out there tonight and get a shot of it with an OEM rubber shift knob on it.

 

[Colt4G63 also]

Am I the only one with a stock 1g shift knob?

[2GbTalonGuy]
