yeah, you can probably use a tap and die and cut it lower.
I don't see why you can't.

Yes, although I think that a chaser die works best.

I tried to thread the stalk tonight. My M10 1.5 die didnāt seem want to start on the stalk. Wasnāt trying to break anything but need to know what was used.

I tried a 'normal' die and had the same experience. The link that you quoted has links to the thread-restoring
dies that I used.

Giving it a go again, once I get a chaser. Too many tools lol.

Its very, very simple, just be careful to go forward and back every turn to allow debris to escape (there will be lots of metal bits so place some towels around the area to catch them).
Even the stock knob has plenty of hollow space inside to get it lower than stock.
In my opinion (as most shift mods are very subjective) I would recommend this mod as it forces the use of a bit more force when shifting, as a result the driver is in control of the shifting motion as opposed to stock height where the shifts sort of fall into place like a pendulum. Shorter shifts and gate spacing are an added benefit.

Hey Iām way late to the party I know, but just had this idea and was hoping for some input. Iāve got the stock shifter that I want to die cut to get my skunk2 knob lower.
The question: Is there excessive rotational stress on the shifter if you die cut it in the car? (Normally Iād clamp the bolt in a vice to keep it from spinning).
My concern is damaging any other shifter internals by putting too much rotational force while die cutting it. (Does my question even make sense?)
thanks for any insight you might have to offer.
