just installed twn short shifter stage 2 and it feels a lil stiff when im going into gears i know its supposed to stiffen it up a little but it feels like if i force it into gear its gonna grind gears ..could it be that i may not have put enough grease on the shifter and thats why it feels tight?? some1 help me im going crazzy here .. anyone hear or have this problem before?

 

Well I do know that its supposed to loosen up, almost like it has to break in a bit. As long as you did the greasing properly, just give it some time and take it easy with the shifter for a bit. If it hasn't broken in in like a weeks time or so, maybe you wanna check that you greased enough or double check all of your work if you're really worried. If everything looks good, greased up nicely and you are still having this problem in another week or so, i'd call em and see what they have to say.

 

shouldn't still stiff.. but more crisp.

greasing it properly will prevent any clucking and any difficulties in shifting... but yea.. after a few days once it breaks in a little more, it should feel better.

if not... just apply a little more grease.

 

alrite im gonan try and grease it again i hopw that works if not u think it could be a install error i mena i dunt see how it would b b.c it real easy installing it but when i grease ill check the steps ova n make sure it alrite

 

lots of grease and weighted shift ****!

 

im gonig to grease it 2morrow and i have a type r shift **** from twn with the shifter its weighed

 

should i grease all the ends of the shifter and the links inside the car also?? or shouldi grease the whole shifter?

 

you should be ok just greasing the areas where the OE shifter was greased.
Do you know about how much the **** weighs? When I think of a weighted ****, it should be 300grams and up.

 

im not realli sure i bought it from twn with the shifter so im assuming its a weighed shift **** and its heavy as hell

 

ahhh ok, I missed the TWM part.... weighted it is!

 

i jsut regreased the hwole shifter and for some reason gonig nito second feels lil stiiff liek if i slam it its going to grind and1 have this problenm b4?

 

delete thread please

 

did you end up fixing it?

 

yea i took it apart n regreased it it feels better now

 

awesome. you didn't grease it enough the first time or it just needed a regreasing? (i'm asking b/c i'm doing the install soon)

 

nah i guess i jsut didn;t grease it enough thw 1st time its still lil stiff gonig into 2nd sometime whens its cold but other wise its worknig good now jsut make sure u put alot of grease on
