I was looking at the install instructions for the TWM shifter and was wondering if ALL the tC Shifter housings had these two black clamps to keep the plastic cap on top of the shifter down? shown below



Just wondering if ALL tC's have this..if not...those who DO..and already have a Short Shifter..how do u remove these two pieces...and are the necessary after taking them out? ... I don't want to pry them off just yet because my Creative Compacts Shifter won't be here until hopefuly next week..so im just throwing this at you guys to get some answers...Thanks in advance..I appreciate it.

I used a flat blade screwdriver to pry mine off. They just clip back on when you are done.

 

i did the same. no problems

 

Yup, just pried them off - no big deal...

 

awesome...thanks for the help...it just confused me a lil when i saw them on my car and not in the install instructions...I figured that maybe Scion put a hex on me.."No Moddies for you!" lol

 

I think the early cars (like June-Dec. or so?) didnt have them, but the newer ones do maybe? I dunno, I got my car on Dec. 23 and it has them...

 

My car made in September didnt have those pieces installed i think it may only be on newer models as it wasnt in the instructions that came with my twm shifter as well.

I know there was a TSB about the loose shifter problem....maybe the black clips are there so remedy the problem.....my car is number 4306 and I don't have them.....

 

my car is like 30944...so yeah..ur prolly right
