I'm planning to purchase a short shifter but I have no idea how to install it and don't feel to comfortable trying to. anyone in the bay area know a good place to go to for this?

 

have you looked at the instructions? not very tough, no special tools required. you'd probably have more lucky posting in your regional subforum.

 

Its really not very bad. I did it for the first time not too long ago. I have very little experience working with tools in general, much less on cars. I did it though and only took me about 1-2 hours.

 

do a search for short shifter install there is a great diy on here. Also I did this mod myself it is very easy.

 

It's really not that hard, I put mine in in about 45 minutes. It's really a pretty straitforward install, hard to screw it up. If you have even a basic knowledge of hand tools, then it shouldn't be a problem. Good Luck!!

 

i can install it.. or help you.

 

You are definitely a helpful guy, Trung. We all appreciate you. Now, when I do need yer help, i'll let ya know . . cool? I plan on a few more things for my car.

 

Trung, where are you guys located?

 

i'm in san jose.

i've done plenty short shifter installs.. i did mine in like 20 minutes start to finish

it doesn't take long.. as long as there's nothing that gets caught or holds me back a little..

just go into the install with brute force and determination and the job'll get done quick... and of course still in a high quality, professional fashion

i guess the real key is having the right tools.

 

The right tools, and common problem solving logic ;)
I asked not for the S/S, but lights, man. Lights. Amber sucks!!! Where in san jo?

 

east side san jose is where i live.

 

i need your guys' opinions...i love the drop of the TWM Stage 2 but i've heard about the iffy shifting. then there's the cc one which is really cheap and a decent drop but i'm also a firm believer of you get what you pay for. so i ask, TWM or CC? i don't want to keep having to repair or do mods to the ss after installation. thanks for the help.

 

In the long run, i think it's pretty hard for a company to screw up a s/s unless they make it out of plastic. I have the CC and I absolutely love it, and reccomend it 110%. For the price and quality I don't think it can be beat.

 

hmm.. for a full custom make on your specs... I have seen Doc I make his short shifters (out of the stock ones) in person.

he does a wonderful job and honestly can't find a much better deal than his stuff. i have the TWM stage II myself, but i bought it prior to Doc I starting to DIY his own for sale.

i would definitely look into that as well.

I'm also a big fan Doc I's stuff. If I had to do it over again I'd go with Doc I's short shifter instead of the B&M. You should do the whole package that Doc offers; I've done all the parts (before Doc had his) and my shifting is rock solid. None of that "squishiness" of stock. Don't forget to get a Doc I shift **** and ebrake cover!! All made to order with your preferred specs!!!!!

This a pic of his 'nismo' style with slightly wider diameter plus the ebrake cover...
