I am beginning to tear out my shower stall in my house (35 years old) and put in some new tile. the only bad place in the floor is at the threshold. rather than tearing up the shower floor, could I leave the existing tiled floor and chip out the drain and install a new drain (to raise the height to new tile floor), put in a membrane (letting it continue up and over the threshold) directly over the existing tiled floor, apply thinset and new tile? Am I missing anything? If anyone has any ideas, please I am all ears!!!

yes you can....actually you might consider ripping just the threshold out and use block or forms and pour concrete to replace the old threshold and tile right over the older tiles as long as theyre down real good.
