Short Shift Lever for Spiders

[AlfaNeely@xxxxxxx]

       Saw off the shifter and get longer arms to reach the new knob.  
       Some racers build a device that moves the shifter back behind the 
normal location.  That moves the shifter closer and can be built to shorten 
the shifter throw.  The devices I have used still use the stock cross bar 
inside the transmission.  No way to change the leverage inside the 
transmission tower that I can think of.
       I do not recall seeing such devices advertised.  You might contact 
Paul Spruell, Jon Norman or Jack Beck.  All race Alfas and might offer these 
shifters.  It is complicated and will be expensive.  There may be a photo of 
one of these shifters on Mike Valent's web page.  He built one for his Super.
