I saw the idea for a beer tap shifter. You take a beer tap handle and throw it on your shifter with a few mods. I know it's possible for six speed ***** that have a thread on them. But I have the auto-stick with the push-on type. Is it possible? I know some of the older guys may think it's dumb but im 19 and I like cool sh*t like that. Asking for any advice you guys have. Or any ***** that would fit our car. I am wanting something unique. Maybe a bubble shifter. Just let me know!!

 

Beer tap ****. Sh*t is cool! I don't care who you are.

 

Tuner style bubble ****. Not as cool. But still cool to me. Comes with the thread adapters. Not sure this would work with a push-on style shifter

 

Possible ? Sure. Take yours off and see how it attaches.take beer tap and modify it to fit. You might learn how to use some tools in the process. You will acquire some skills and have better knowledge to execute your new ideas in the future which hopefully will be better. Lol

 

I made my own wooden shift handle for my automatic. I don't recall the size hole I drilled in the bottom so you will have to measure again. I drilled the wood handle 1/32"or 1/64" size smaller than the shaft diameter for a starting point. Being wood, I was able to slide the handle on with some force. It is very tight and no additional fastening is needed. Just an idea for you to incorporate into your design.

Sounds like a great start! Thanks man

 

Beer-tap shift ***** & bubble ***** look cool but are terribly un-ergonomic to drive with. I had a pretty tall bubble **** in my old Mazdaspeed MX-5 and I wound up replacing it with a different shift **** a few months thereafter.

 

My favorite custom shift ***** were the Hurst T-Handle. (With button for line lock)

Also I had a drilled and tapped 10-Ball (Blue and white) in my old Dodge Van's 4sp. The blue matched the interior and the **** was great.
If using a threaded ****, put a Helicoil in to prevent stripping it out when shifting.

 

I like the hurst, but the beer thing is bad and would be worst in court or in a legal case. Your not the only one that will see it, and if things go bad.... WDY

 

He's 19 and I guess too young to drink legally, a LEO pulling him over will give him a hard time when he sees it.
His sig says he passes Mustangs, I guess I was like that at that age and I wish I still was.
It certainly would hinder some romantic encounters though.

 

I like the vise grip window handle.

 

Here is the shifter **** in my 34 ford. It was Xmas, and he was Santa. Seriously though. I would never put anything this tacky in my Xfire. Nor would I put a beer tap in there. It ain't a T-bucket.

 

So... Ya wanna look like this? Go for it, but not in a Crossfire.. please.

 

You guys make me lol sometimes

 

A Crossfire is too classy for that but I'm looking into making a reolica of the Hurst pistol grip shifter that was in my 1970 Callenger 340 6-pak.

 

And here I was thinking I was one of the "younger" Crossfire drivers at the age of 28

 

Jefasold, Iam right there and have one on order for eval and probable installation. Woody

 

I think I'm gonna just paint it black to match the interior trim pieces when I paint them. Beer tap sounds better for a rust bucket beater car. Thanks for talking me out of it I guess lol

 

You might be from South Georgia if you use a cardboard box, dental floss, and an old socket to paint your shift ****

 

That method would work for me, but up here in the North I used a different approach in painting mine by inserting a bolt in the mounting hole, and then using a magnetic tool holder strip to hold it up.

Seeing the Hurst shift **** brought back memories. When I was 18 I had a Formula 400 Firebird with a 4 speed. It had a Hurst shifter.
