Mod: Short Throw (Short Shifter) Modification Type: Performance/Appearance Difficulty of Install/Modification: Easy Preparation And Install Time: 3 hrs Let's get right to it. First, unscrew the shift knob, then take out the console cover and shift boot. The cover and the boot should then reveal your schtick in all its naked glory. (This is actually the picture of the short shifter as reference since it looks almost the same as the stock one...except that it is well....short) Anyway. This is what it supposed to look like when you take out the shift knob and covers. Figure 1A
When you do finally free up the stock shift throw, you will need to do three things. (see pic below)
Figure 1C (comparing the two shift throws)
(You will then have to get the stock throw off the plastic cradle thing which sits inside the actual shifter assembly. Get it out of the assembly and carefully mallet the stock throw from the plastic cradle using a table vice grip or place it between to sturdy tables and mallet away (not a good recommendation). Witness the mayhem below...
Hopefully, if you're like me...your shift knob should be pretty small too. Otherwise it'll be hitting the cup holders like before (which defeats the purpose of this mod in the first place!!). Submitted by xxx@******.com Revision 0 Article submitted on 30 Mar 2010 Viewed 5498 times |
