short throw shifter...

has anybody here cut a stock shifter... and re-weld to make it into a short throw shifter?

or

take a short throw shifter... and do the same to make it even shorter?

is this safe? would it affect shifting or anything in any way?

I've cut a single bend short shifter before. outcome was not good. It was quite difficult getting into certain gears. Get a b&m dual bend short shifter, had it on my old car, it was absolutely amazing. loved it.

As long as you don't cut too much off it will be ok. I cut of about 1.5" off a short shifter and having the shifter in the boot was not too comfortable to shift nor it worked as well as it did before the cut.
