I did slightly different and just cut down the old gear stick approx 2 to 3 inches above the large shoulder. This I then used an angle grinder to reduce as best I could to 10 mm dia for the top inch then re-threaded with a 10mm die. Not really used in anger yet, but shorter travel means faster changes I hope.

I could not find anyway to remove the top section from the rubber without causing permanent damage so did it this way.

I did buy a spare off ebay just in case.

Why do I have to make the tools to finish the job? More time then money.

In best Blue Peter Stylee, here's one I did earlier. Was an old lever which I butchered. I dismantled all the bits to make it clearer but you just do the drifting bit. Rescued attachment shift.JPG

inside that shoulder is a rubber bush, and inside that rubber bush is the bottom part of the gear lever, which is already the right diameter for a M10 thread to be cut with a die.

you can see how short mine is here, i meant how short my knob is, er i mean, i've got a smally willy, er, no, thats not right, a short gear lever! its like changing gear with a switch
