I've set up a web page for my shifter parts, tell me what you think of it (so far).
Rich's Shifter Parts

Rather than waste space here you can e-mail me at [email protected] , or post your reply here if you like.

Thanks, Rich

Tony,
There doesn't seem to be any problem with the shifter boot bunching up. The recess that it fits in is deep enough that the boot just sits lower in it.

Hi Tony,
I added one of Rich's shifters to my snake. No problems with the boot, or anything else for that matter. The shifter action is great- very precise feeling. I like it more every time I go for a drive.

Here's what it looks like on a later model Viper:

One note on Gen II installation:
* Remove the center console to gain access to the boot tabs. Trust me- it is much easier. (the later models seem to have more tabs)

Rich,

Can this be used in conjunction with an SVSi short shifter? Do you think there would be anything to gain? My first impression is probably not, but I would love to hear your feedback.

Brad,
I honestly can't tell you the answer to your question, I don't know.

I'm not sure how the upper shifter shaft attaches on the SVSi shifter or how long the shaft is on it.

The B&M Ripper shifter I looked at while at VOI6 had a solid steel upper shaft which looked shorter than stock.
I believe that's part of the reason they have a shorter throw than stock.

That's one of the things that gave me the idea to make these shafts. It's an affordable alternative to replacing the entire shifter.

I installed one of Rich's shifters 2 weeks ago and I really like it.
The feel is much firmer than the stock shifter, it only took about 30 minutes to install, and cost less than 30 bucks ,what a deal.
I recommend it!!
Thanks Rich,
Cheers,
