Is there a way to cut the shifter on the 98 scort shorter? I'd like to cut it down a couple of inches, but I can't think of what to use....any ideas/suggestions?

get a pipe cutter or something tough enough to saw through it.... or just buy a short shifter.

Eh. Just sawing off the end won't give you a short shifter, it'll give you a short-er shifter, but not a short shifter... Somewhere around here or on ERDT there's a how to about how to make one.

Take a torch and heat the ball up, bang it loose, then you can slide it up a bit (1-2" or so). Then drill it and put a pin/set screw to hold it where you want it. Woohoo free short shifter. You will probably have to bend the exhaust heat shield in the area where the shifter is.
