CAE Ultra Shifter Height for $20 -- Driving Impressions
Hey Morning Twiners,
I took some inspiration from the CAE Ultra and went on an Amazon binge to snag two pieces that provide CAE hight, but for only $20 (shipped). The two pieces were a 4" M12x1.25 extension, and a reverse lockout adapter. I tossed-on a old Toyota Tacoma shift knob for some flare, but the OEM knob can be used. Truth be said, I don't intend on keeping the "drift" or "rally" bits installed, but for sure I was surprised at some benefits of the newly found height and understand why some folks drive this way. ----------- Goods: - Retains notchy feel (so long as shift knob isn't too heavy) - Hand transition from 3 o'clock to shifter lightning fast - Not too gaudy with black aluminum bits - Will start a conversation at a car show Bads: - Blocks stereo touchscreen somewhat - Reverse lockout engagement is more awkward (but easily executed as the video shows) - Can be perceived as a bit ridiculous ------ Anyway, below is a little video I put together that goes over the whole ordeal. Links to the extension pieces and the leather Tacoma shift knob are in the description. Cheers, -- Mike Last edited by Mike Roadway; 03-30-2024 at 06:04 PM. |
