I'd be very interested in a group but for the numeric short shift kit + adjustable shift rod (assuming I need the latter instead of numeric SSK + FDM golden rod?)

Finally got my car back after a massive upgrade including installation of the Numeric Racing Shift Cage.
Of note, I was an early adopter and had purchased a GoldenRod from FVD which required modification by Numeric.
[Personal saga of my difficulty getting the GR back from Numeric Racing is enumerated above.]
Installation on the adjustable GR by "my" shop with multiple redundant bolts & red loctite has resulted in a nice short shift with very clear "feeling" of gearing.
Easy to snap through the gears without mis-shifts and Reverse CLEARLY feels separate
To be honest, I don't have any experience with other aftermarket options.
This solution, albeit a bit of a pain in the *** with some of the issues to get installed, works for me and is definitely a step up from OEM.

I’m trying to do it myself, but am having a tough go of finding a proper solution. I’ve begun searching some motorsports parts websites for threaded rods and female threaded inserts. I’m thinking I can cut the GR and insert female threads on both ends. Then, use a threaded rod with opposite threads on both sides, and 4 nuts.
I can’t seem to find good parts and am wondering if an insert needs to be welded in. Or, can threads be cut into the interior of the GR after cutting.
Again, any guidance would be appreciated.

Can you provide guidance on how the GR was modified please? I have the GR and would prefer to modify it instead of buying another rod from Numeric.

Other than the images I posted above I would have NO idea what was done to the GR as shipping occurred directly between the shop and Numeric.

I realized after posting, that it was probably bad form asking how to copy Numeric’s shifter on their own thread. Also, I thought you had done it yourself. If I don’t find the solution, I will reach out to them to see about modifications or a new one. I’ve had two cars with Numeric shifters and cables and installed two more for friends, in addition to hanging out with the guys at Carlisle Swap Meet. I love their products!
