Bring the gear stick closer
Is it possible to bring the gear stick closer to the driver (an inch or two would do it)?
I have to have my seat far back for my long legs, unfortunately my arms didn't develop with the same reach and I have to go to maximum reach to
get into 3rd gear.
Is there a product that would move the gear stick further back? I've seen the adapter plates but I don't really want to butcher my
interior up as its finished and nicely done.
So a bent longer gear stick or maybe something like this?

Thanks

I've seen people bend the stock in a dog leg, it works but feels like a 2CV stick
Best option is the extender that goes on the gearbox

I made my own remote and quick shift following David Jenkins post several years ago, cost me the grand total of £0.92. Can't see any reason you
couldn't make a shorter version?

It's a shame arms aren't made out of the same stuff that your nob is. Just give it a quick rub and Hey Presto! Problem solved.

If an inch or two is all that is needed I would go for a bent or dog-leg lever. My car had a 40mm dog-leg lever hidden by the gaiter. The gearchange
was fine.
When I fitted a six speed box I had the opposite problem to yours. I had to move the lever forward by five inches. Now that was tricky!

Does anyone know if the extension Nero posted the eBay link to works with a 4 speed type E?

Yep I have a type 9 although I think I have the V6 version.
Where can I buy a dog leg/bent shifter from?
