Shortening Transmission Shift Lever
The shift lever on my Rebuilt A-4 appears to be a few inches taller than the one it replaced and it is hitting my exhaust elbow before it can travel into forward gear. Rather than reconfigure my exhaust pipe, I am considering shortening 2 inches off the top of the lever so it clears the pipe.
Is it OK to shorten the lever by a few inches? Will it cause vibrations or reduce the force applied by the shift linkage? Any other way to modify?
Appreciate any insights or experience.
Thanks
