Short Shifter Install

prahunt · Post by **prahunt** » Mon May 25, 2015 12:22 pm

Does anyone know where to get instructions for these?
I have a D2 short shifter purchased off here and I don't fancy getting the install wrong.

Tried a few google searches and can't find anything.
Help please

I think you unbolt the upper cable from the shifter and fit it in between there??

Or am i talking rubbish.

I'm not sure. I need to get around to actually tackling it, but don't want to start it then cause some issue leaving me unable to amend my gears.

Yep, you lift the gear shift gaitor up, unbolt the cable from the gear shift lever, bolt on the short shifter adapter and bolt the cable back on to the adapter.

This seems devilishly straight forward.

Except you would be able to just lift the gear gaiter up

... You need to lift the entire centre console.

Yep. Assuming your gear gaitor is correctly fitted.

Not sure if this is of any use as I installed mine on a 5th gen. I have the JTC short shifter - heres the guide

Im presuming you are talking about one of these adaptors?

They are really easy to install, just get to the shifter, pop the cable thats attached to the actual stick off and pop the adaptor in its place. make sure its all tight and off you go! im not sure if the screw that presses against the stick is just to hold it steady or if its for adjustment too.
