shorter shifter?
I have a 1999 Frontier XE, 2,5L4, and a manual 5 speed.
Does anybody know of an aftermarket short shifter, that will fit my truck. I have been driving cars since 1970, but never owned a truck before. The only car that shifted as looooong as my truck, was a 1971 Volvo 240. I am use to quick shifts and my shifter is very long by comparison. I have searched all over the internet. Nobody seems to make one for a Frontier! Help! Thanks! ![]()

The 240sx ones may work since they are basically the same transmission.

YES BUT BARRING NOT HAVING ONE OR NOT WANTING TO SPEND THE MONEY, SHORTENING THE HANDLE SHORTENS THE THROW, LIKE I SAID THIS WAS ESPECIALLY POPULAR BEFORE COMPANIES BEGAN TO PRODUCE THIS FOR SPORTS CARS. ON MY SCCA 75 280Z I DID THIS AND PUT A CLUTCH PEDAL LIMITER ON. THE THROWS( HOW MUCH MY HAND MOVED BETWEEN GEARS) WAS ONLY A COUPLE INCHES. THE T HANDLE WAS RIGHT OUT THE TOP OF THE BOOT INSTEAD OF 4-5"
