Extra tall manual transmission shifting lever

The height is pointless, but the chrome skull on top keeps the transmission from failing.

 

I actually found it much easier to NOT grind gears with the taller shifter. Longer throw and more leverage it took very little effort.to shift.

 

Not my style but as long as the one driving it likes it that's all that should matter.

Personally I like the shifter knob to be a couple inches above thigh level.

 

Reading comprehension is obviously not your thing. With the shifter at the right height it's actually very comfortable. Could keep my elbow on the arm rest and shift most gears

 

I want to shorten my shifter about a foot..Tired of getting poked in the caboose when I’m trying to get into the sleeper..

Who knows, maybe even start a new fad?

Like the Mexican driver who put new CB antennas on without a wrench..first time he stopped they tilted forward..the rest is history

 

The tall shifter is a great way to establish dominance over the lowly auto trucks by raising the custom shiny shifty device up for all to see and appreciate while simultaneously slamming ones seat to the floor to save from being bothered by the sight of anything within 50' of the truck. It's a fine tuned recipe to be this cool and is best when topped off with a flat bill hat, dark shades and a quality neck tattoo!

 

Wow, I must be behind the times... is that actually a thing? Or was that one pic photoshopped? I can see swapping out a shift lever for something slightly taller to suit one's style, but high overhead like ape hangers on a bike? I guess I'm gettin' old, I just don't see the advantage of it...

P.S. Reminds me of those 'Crusty Demons of Dirt' videos where those Metal Mulisha boyz put ape hangers on dirt bikes, go karts, etc.

 

We're just jealous if I'm being honest! Even my kid prefers a shoulder high shifter!
