They go under the white shifter housing with the smaller part actually fitting into the bottom of the housing. You have to remove the old rubber bushings to put them in.

See my post here:

And the one after it.

 

thanks

 

Would the metal spacers that go under the housing be something I could buy at the hardware store?

 

Probably not that would fit correctly. They're not just washers or something.

 

i put mine in last night from CC and let me tell you getting that washer off was such a pain. It took me like 2 hours to do. but it was worth it. its so much shorter. and it feels better too.

 

OK, I have a question that hopefully makes some sense.

Coming from an offroad background, I don't have any experience with cars and things, so this is my first time shopping for short shifters. Anyways, I remember reading on a different forum that some SS designs lead to enhanced vibration in the shifter and extra noise. Is any of this true for any of the short shifters available for the tC?

Thanks.

 

thinkin abouty buying one any big difference on the short throw

 

Definitely a noticable difference. Definitely worth the money.

 

Nothing that I've heard of. Everything that I know of is pretty solid and tehre haven't been any complaints here of that nature.

 

Anyone here use the ARK SS? Just curious because according to the chart the throw is the same as TWM Stage 2 but the height doesn't change.
I prefer the height stay the same since I don't place my hand ontop but rather grab the shifter from the side. Anyone use it?
Thanks

If you have a SS, you gotta get the cable shifter bushings...the difference is crazy, you'll thank me later

 

I think there are a couple people that have it. Honestly about the height though, I didn't think I'd want mine to change either, but I got the Creative Compacts shifter and I LOVE the height difference. It's just right IMO.

 

For the longest time I've been wanting ARK's shifter, but if you think about it why not get Perrin's (its adjustable)? And costs similar to Arks...
However, I have yet to hear from sum1 who has it installed.

 

Ya, I'm not sure anyone has the Perrin for the tC.

 

Well... I had a super short shifter in my old BMW and although it looked cool, I didn't find it too comfortable for the way i shift. It seems CC and the TWM stuff are more common but i'd love to hear from someone with the ARK.
Thanks!

ARK is basically the same as the TRD height wise and shift wise...

The TRD is superior, even better that I got the soild shifter bushings, the shifts are precise, its an amazing mod
And with the TRD you dont have to reach down low to grab the shifter. Stock height is perfectly fine for me.

 

Just installed my new momo ****. Matches perfectly with the interior of the car. While I was it I decided to install the stiffer bushings. WOW!!! What a big difference does it make. Feels Alot Better!!! I would like to put some pics, but I dont know how. If any1 can tell me the steps I will gladly put them on.

 

Did you had ARK short Shifter? Where did you purchase from...???

 

The **** that I just got from Momo is about the same as the Ark **** that they give you but it looks nicer. At least it does to me. It also, doesn't have a sticker to put on the top of the ****, it is screwed on and can be switched to another top just with an allen key that they give.

 

how hard is a self install on this i know its easy to get the cd player out i dont know if u have to take out the dash or wut or does it fit n the hole or did u guys just someone to install
