short shifter installed, 7th gen - updated with pics Options

[Batman722]

Thanks to Doug and rjb23 for experimenting with other short shifters (Doug-EVO and rjb23-7th gen). I recieved mine (7th gen about $45 on ebay) and installed. It took about 1.5 hours from start to finish. I downloaded the instructions from TWMs website and read the ones in the how to articles.

I have to say the throw is much much shorter and about 1-2 inches lower than stock. My finger are kinda close to the dash but I think it is because I only used 2 of the 4 spacers (the back 2) plus I have big hands. I will put some pics up when I put the other 2 spacers in.

Bottom line, this this rocks - great mod for $45.

I think they were talking about that piece. The GREEN ARROW

I didn't cut mine and it's smooth. I might hack it out tomorrow and see if there is a difference...

ok here is the pic



it is the white plastic piece that is under the right cable. Some people needed to cut it, I really didn't need to at all. I cut it just in case it was/would rub the cable, I felt no difference after I cut it.

if you have any questions, post them up

also, make sure you replace your stock rubber spacers with the purple ones provided, I think that is the reason I do not rub (the new ones make the assembly sit higher).
