Careful when taking the top plate off, it may fly away. I just used some c-clamps, to make it a bit safer. |
|
|
With the top plate removed, the old springs will come out. Now losen the nut and remove the set screw. |
|
|
At the opposite side is a roll pin. I just used a large screwdriver and a metric hammer to drive it back.. |
|
|
Now remove the shift rod and the piece that connects the whole thing.. |
|
|
Remove the clips from the pin that lifts up the spring plate for 5th and R gear. They are needed for the new kit.. |

Assembly of Short Shifter
Insert the new shift rod in the new lever bearing. |
|
|
Insert the new pin, make sure the extended side is to the left.. |
|
|
Install the clip on the right side. |
|
|
Insert the spring plate |
|
|
Install the shifter-lever assembly |
|
|
Next the setscrew, just keep it loose. Drive the roll pin back in. |
|
|
Install the rubber piece and the springs which came with the short shift kit |
|
|
Now I could not take a picture, since I needed both hands and whatever else.
When installing the top plate, make sure the spring plate lines up with the holes.
|
|
|
Installing the nut for the set screw, I played around a little until I had the shifter moving nice for and back and left and right.
|
|
|
Install a new bushing to the shift rod bottom.
|
|
|
Here is it after installed in the car |
|
|
The shift knop is hand made from Walnut and Maple wood |
|
|
There was one thing, I had to do. The shifter was too short, and I could not reach to the 5th. gear. I added an extension, and now it's just perfect. |
