Official: 2008 2nd Gen RangerJoe Short Shifter Group Buy

There are no more shifters for sale, sorry to those who didn't catch on this time. Contact me by PM or Email if you are still looking for one, and I'll try to help you find one.
Alright guys, we're ready for another year. I am fully onboard (not that I havnt been of course ) and we are on track as far as timing goes. I currently have a list of 25 guys intererested in the part.

I will be PMing everyone within the next few minutes to get a new gauge on who is actually ready to do this or not. I am setting up a spread sheet for my own records (who would have thought I am pretty organized) so I would appreciate everyone sending me their email address, as well as the mailing address the shifter will be sent to.

I am setting the payment due date at May 9th, 2008 (2nd friday in may). This is about when the shifters should be completed at the machine shop, but I am trying to give you guys a little more lead time for payment since this buy has been so stretched out anyway.

Cost of part: The shifter will be $180 + $10 shipping. This is $5 up from last year's price because of the cost of steel going up (quite a bit). I ship with USPS priority mail with delivery confirmation and insurance. If you live out of the US, please talk to me so that we can get a more accurate amount for what shipping will be to you (last time around I shipped to Canada, I believe it was around $15 for shipping, so no big deal).

I will accept payment through paypal and money orders (if you want to send money orders, then please email me at phillipdeverges@gmail.com for my mailing address) My paypal address is the same email, phillipdeverges@gmail.com

Either way you pay (paypal or money order) please include your mailing address and forum name, so that I can make sure everyone is accountable for the part they request.

As of currently, here is the list of people I have.

  31. -=Davy=- Payment pending

I can modify this list as necessary

Here is one of the old group buys, all neat, as well as a picture of the shifter up close (next to one of the test shifters I made before the production piece was completed).



I am more than happy to answer questions, please do not hesitate to ask them.

Common questions and answers.

Does this work on both 5 and 6 speeds?
---> Yes, this will work on ALL 91-95 manual legends.

How hard is it to put in?
---> I did not have very much trouble putting it in, it requires the removal of the center console, and some people prefer to remove the bottom bolt on the shifter from underneath the car.

What is it made of?
---> The shifter is made on a lathe from solid bar stock steel, I would imagine that you will break your transmission before you break one of these shifters.

Is it coated?
---> Every shifter is coated almost completely with a matte black powdercoat to protect it from the elements.


I think I covered just about everything...Glad we can do another run for you guys, I hope this group enjoys the part as much as the previous buyers.

I am going to make up a FULL DIY before the group buy is done. People post up some pics from time to time...

But this time around, there will be a full DIY

My legend tranny might need a rebuild soon. If I go from 4th to 5th too quickly, it grinds. If I put the short shifter in, will I be able to take it out if I were to rebuilt/replace the tranny? Then put it back in?

You can use any knob that fits on the OEM shifter, as far as I know, acura uses the same thread for all of their manual shift knobs (RSX, TL, TSX, NSX)

Once you have the center console out, the knob is pretty easy to remove, it's just on there pretty tight from the factory is all.

Sounds good to me. Don't forget to send your PMs and emails with address/email/how you plan to pay.

That's a pretty normal synchronizer problem. You can remove the shifter just as if it were the stock one, but when you remove the transmission, all you need to do is unbolt the shift linkage, your shifter can stay right in it's place inside the car without being removed. But yes, the shifter will work fine either way.
