I'm aiming to do it myself this weekend, but I was wondering if anyone in the DFW area who has done this before might be willing to stop by and offer some professional advice?
Anyone?
Bueller?

View Full Version : Short Shifter Installers? tekisui 11-18-2005, 05:03 PM I wouldn't attempt it alone if I were you if you can help it. It can be done, but it really helps to have an extra set of eyes interpreting the instructions. Use these instructions here: http://www.scionlife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=36452 The part where they say to use a dremel, USE ONE. Otherwise, removing that washer-type ring fastener is a _____. That's what took me the longest. Other than that, it's fairly straight forward. I'd help but my weekend is booked solid with the SCCA meet and me moving in a week. Ideapimp 11-20-2005, 03:10 PM Well, I have good news. The shifter didn't arrive on time. So, now if you don't have anythign to do NEXT weekend. You're welcome to help. :) eov32885 11-21-2005, 04:46 AM Hmm, I might be free next Sunday, Where in Dallas you at? Ideapimp 11-21-2005, 02:57 PM Valley Ranch. My wife and I didn't know any better when we moved up here to suburbanite hell. We both work downtown, too. ugh. tekisui 11-21-2005, 03:06 PM I'm moving this weekend :-p Sorry. Ideapimp 11-21-2005, 05:42 PM It's cool. The more I look at the instructions this will actually be easier than some I've done before. At least I don't have to jack up the car and reach around the transmission to unhook anything. eov32885 11-23-2005, 03:55 AM Its actually pretty easy, I think the hardest part for me was removing that washer thingy......I used a flat screw driver, but I got it off eventually.ohhhh and then there's that clip that goes on the tip(bottom) of the shifter, that one is also a tricky one! Ideapimp 11-26-2005, 04:54 PM It's in and looks, feels and shifts great! No problems to speak of, really. The washer was a bit of a bi*ch to get off but after a little grunting the rest was cream cheese. http://www.ideapimp.com/postedimages/shifterside.jpg http://www.ideapimp.com/postedimages/shifterfront.jpg Thanks everyone for you help. mattssi 11-26-2005, 05:06 PM Is that some sort of sex-toy shift knob? aoshi12345 11-26-2005, 05:16 PM AHAHAH Ideapimp 11-26-2005, 05:16 PM Looks a bit like some sort of...ahem...plug doesn't it? It's a weighted knob from TWM. It's actually really comfortable to hold in all kinds of positions (pun intended). |
