Razor blade and cut them to the thickness you want... It's just rubber

I don't have an auto tranny, but I'm definitely going to do this on my CSR wheel that I have for my sim rig. Rep'd

Just saw this thread, might have to try this.

Noticed that it looks like your picture from the driver's side of the wheel that you have a switch with up, down, left, right. Is this something from the Nav package or power adjustable steering wheel?

interesting..now where exactly do they mount on the paddles?..in the pics it looks like its half way hiting the black frame/console and halfway not touching it?

thats a terrible description,but any clarification would be sweet

I haven't done this mod, but, going by the pics and description, it looks like the bumpers are stuck on the side facing the front of the car (not the driver) of the paddle so that the "console" edge bisects the top of the bumper when the bumper is resting against that edge.
So, yeah, in a way, it's "half hitting" the edge of the housing.

Another way of saying it: The rubber piece doesn't stop the paddle from its full motion of travel. Instead, it rests further ahead, so it actually *starts* further out and thus doesn't have to travel as much overall.

For a while, I thought this mod would stop the paddle earlier, but that's backwards. :) It starts it out closer to the shift point.

gave this a shot and didn't like it. the paddles lose the tactile click
