    Does anyone make a shorter shift lever for the 308's , it seems both a bit high, and the throw could be a bit shorter too. Or do owners just cut it shorter and re-thread the shifter stock??

    With the general clunkiness of the 308 gearbox, I would think you need all the leverage you can get! ;)

    I believe the early 308s have a shorter, angled shift lever, versus the later ones.

    You could just get a 77... :)

    The earlier shift lever assemblies with shorter stalks will drop right into all the 308's. Here's Ric Rainbolt's QV with a GT4 shifter.

    Humm, after being use to Hurst Shifters, I think I will try an early one, I leave size out of this...lol Got a clue what it takes to change the shift lever, or is it an assembly from Rutlands? My reverse lock out dosent work anyway.

    It's not scrap, it's previously expirenced, and ready for re-use.......
    at a high price

    Ya think that old Hurst "T" handle from the junk drawer will fit ?
    or just stick with the black ball....he he he
