So basically I was installing my Doc Isotope short shifter w/ cage risers and 1 of the risers fell into this little hole underneath the cage........ Can't get that shyt out. Anyways I 'm probably going to email doc about reordering that 1 piece. Once I get it you guys think I can just do the install by just take out the panel which holds the shift boot, and from there just unscrew the bolts and add the risers? Or would I have to take apart the whole center console and cup holders to do it? If I can't would I have to order another washer to put on the rod again? Thanks.

(Took this from the DIY) But jsut wodnerinf If I could add the risers by just taking off this part, isntead of the whole thing.

 

i think youd be fine with just taking off the piece with the shift boot alone. but it only takes a minute to take off the whole thing, so why not? just to make sure you get everything in good, and avoid dropping another bushing into the black hole

 

I made the mistake of working on the SS half drunk and in the dark outside haha. The install resulted in internal bleeding of the thumb, its all black =/

 

daaamn drunken moments.. gotta love'em

 

you can try to fish that sucker out... i've had to fish things out from that damn black hole before..

better than having that thing rattling in there...

 

haha i had to fish that same piece from that same hole back when i was installing my twm II ss hehe damn hole!!

shifter works beautful though

 

What'd you guys use? I felt it like twice but after that I think I knocked in deeper in.

 

gripper snake thingy tool..?

 

what?????

i used a screwdriver to drg it closer and bit my lip and did my best to pin it against the housing and slide it up with my finger
