B&M Viper shifter.

Can anyone tell me if a B&M Viper shifter will fit an 05 RC 6speed trans?
Truck shifter will be too tall for my 36.
Thanks,David.

Change handle?:dontknow:

Don't think so.
Other problem is that truck shifter is angled to the left,which is not so good for us that sit on the right.

Ask FatJack, he has tried just about every combo with his and I do beleive he has a short straight (wow ) handle now

WHOA, I trust that the 36 Viper is coming along well..?

The Viper shifter will work. The B&M Truck shifter will do fine with a straight, short lever on it BUT B&M does not make one, you have to use a Hurst 8" and redrill it to fit the B&M.

You should be able to use the X Metal (Gen1?) for our trucks. (The one with the ripper handel)
Take the top plate off and turn the internal handle 180deg., to get the right hand angle.

For the shift handle. Have you considered one of these?

Grab an X-Metal shifter. Handles can be bent to the right. All RH conversion trucks/cars with manuals have this done at the conversion shop.
I think it's just a matter of bench vice, cloth/towel and a bit of strength. So you can run what ever shifter you like.

Straight handle will do the trick,except that I would like the knob height to end up around the height of the stock shifter without the lever on it.A knob straight on the shifter as in the pic would be perfect.
That was why I suggested a Viper one as they look a lot lower,but because of the offset it may move it too far away.

How do I get hold of Boomer to enquire about an X-Metal?Can't get website to open up.
Thanks for the help.
David.
