Can-Am Defender Short Shifter Shaft

Gain More Dash Clearance with a Can-Am Defender Short Shifter

Free up valuable space around the center of your dash with the MCE Offroad Can-Am Defender Short Shifter Shaft.
Designed for 2016–2026 Can-Am Defender HD5, HD7, HD8, HD9 and HD10 models, this shortened shifter helps reduce interference between the factory gear selector and accessories installed in the center dash area. Whether you're running a tablet, GPS, phone mount, display, or other dash-mounted equipment, the shorter shifter gives you more room to build your Defender interior around the way you actually use it.

The shaft is finished in black powder coat and uses the same threaded end size as the OEM Can-Am Defender shifter, allowing you to retain compatible factory-style threading while gaining additional clearance.

Stop Your Shifter from Interfering with Dash Accessories

Adding accessories to the center dash area of a Can-Am Defender can create an unexpected problem:
The factory shifter gets in the way.

Tablets, GPS units, phones, navigation displays, and other equipment can occupy the same space needed to operate the factory shifter.

The MCE Offroad Short Shifter Shaft reduces the height of the shifter so you can retain the functionality of the center dash area without worrying about the same level of interference.

This makes it a particularly useful upgrade for Defenders equipped with:
-Tablet mounts
-GPS/navigation systems
-Phone mounts
-Electronic displays
-Center dash accessories
-Custom dash configurations

OEM-Size Threaded End

A shorter shifter shouldn't mean giving up your preferred shift knob.
The MCE Offroad Short Shifter Shaft uses the same threaded end size as the OEM Defender shifter, providing compatibility with the original-style threaded connection.
Customers can also complete the upgrade with an optional MCE aluminum shift knob, available directly from the product page in multiple finishes and colors.

Black Powder-Coated Finish

The Short Shifter Shaft features a black powder-coated finish for a clean appearance that integrates well with the Defender interior.
Pair it with an MCE shift knob to customize the finished appearance of your shifter while improving clearance around the center dash.
