Title: Short Shifter Install with Pics. Post by: Darktengu on April 17, 2007, 01:08:33 AM First put the parking brake up, and loosen the shifter knob.
(http://medialocker.org/i/t.c158bd8c01d.JPG) Remove the HVAC/Radio trim piece (http://medialocker.org/i/t.d1051997a73.JPG) (http://medialocker.org/i/t.22af675dc30.JPG) Remove the center console cover don't forget to remove and wire connections. (http://medialocker.org/i/t.0a01ffc8c0f.JPG) Remove the 12MM nut on the side of the shifter (http://medialocker.org/i/t.0a01ffc8c0f.JPG) Slide the old shifter out to the driver side. (http://medialocker.org/i/t.154f75b37eb.JPG) Install is the reverse! Follow instructions with your particular short shift kit, and install factory parts in the reverse order of removing them.

Title: Re: Short Shifter Install with Pics. Post by: Nykon on April 17, 2007, 02:06:02 AM eh, I have a writeup on my site too a bit more detailed
Title: Re: Short Shifter Install with Pics. Post by: Darktengu on April 17, 2007, 03:37:10 AM But does it have the pictures?
Oh and when I need to shift 1st or 2nd my entire console moves to the left. I have to figure out what to do about that! Title: Re: Short Shifter Install with Pics. Post by: Nykon on April 17, 2007, 04:39:01 AM Get a 5 spd console.
Yeah mine has detailed pics. I did the symborski kit too. Title: Re: Short Shifter Install with Pics. Post by: Darktengu on April 17, 2007, 12:21:21 PM mine is a 5 speed??
Title: Re: Short Shifter Install with Pics. Post by: Nykon on April 17, 2007, 02:29:00 PM oh... sorry, I forgot I had the Eclipse console in mine, different boot hole... It looked to me like you had popped out the auto dealy and put a boot in it.
Nevermind then. ;D Title: Re: Short Shifter Install with Pics. Post by: Bluepaw on April 17, 2007, 05:53:29 PM I could'nt even get mine to shift in 1st or second.I notched out the plastic under the boot on the left side for clearance.The boot still covers everthing fine.My short throw is a Fidanza brand.

Yeah I might just cut the entire hole a bit bigger to give it a clean look. We'll see I can manage for now. Title: Re: Short Shifter Install with Pics. Post by: Ivan on April 20, 2007, 03:07:04 PM thats the reason i didnt get a short shifter kit on my car
but hey, update us with your upgrade Title: Re: Short Shifter Install with Pics. Post by: Darktengu on April 20, 2007, 10:26:37 PM I love it. It's not going to make me WAY faster but it's nice not to damn near bust my knuckles on my CD player.
Title: Re: Short Shifter Install with Pics. Post by: DangerboyJr on April 21, 2007, 01:26:50 AM The console needs to be modified no matter what to fit the short shifter. It wont shift into 1st without modifications or the entire console shifting
Title: Re: Short Shifter Install with Pics. Post by: Darktengu on April 21, 2007, 01:28:36 AM I can shift into first and second.
Title: Re: Short Shifter Install with Pics. Post by: Daes on April 21, 2007, 04:03:55 AM I've seen many cases where the short shifter causes problems with clearance in the venge console. An Eclipse console is the best solution.
My setup: B&M short shifter, Symborski bushing kit, underhood shifter bearings. Gives it a great tight feel rather than all mushy. Heres a good write up with pics for the Eclipse console: http://www.turbo4wd.com/Turbo4WD/B&MShortShifterInstall.html Title: Re: Short Shifter Install with Pics. Post by: Darktengu on April 21, 2007, 12:29:54 PM Show off ;) Looks good. I don't know if I'll ever get around to doing an eclipse swap for the interior. My money goes to the motor. So I'll probably just do some cutting.
Though the smooth rise of an Eclipse looks better. Title: Re: Short Shifter Install with Pics. Post by: Shiano on April 26, 2007, 08:25:17 AM Well see, to me the Eclipse console flows so much better. It's not like dropping a watermelon off a building and then being told you have to move it 50 yards away from the building.
Title: Re: Short Shifter Install with Pics. Post by: DangerboyJr on April 26, 2007, 02:00:31 PM that was THE and i mean THE, best analogy i have ever heard
