D.I.Y EJ Shortshifters

[Opt-ion]

Good evening all sifus, I was actually trying to save some bucks n try to install the shortshifters in to my stock shifter.

After having the trouble from removing the armrest box from the hand-brake n the compartment box. then trying to remove gear compartment that is lock tight under the (EJ ori gear lock), had a struggle almost broke the lock metal panel. Finally removed it.

Then found a gear rubber stopper surrounding the gear stick, but cud not do anthing from there...

Anyone can help???

I think u have difficulty to removed the rubber bush with the plastic bush inside. try to removed the rubber separately then u can easily remove the plastic bush.
experience before.......gud luck.

It's for EG, but the same theory applies.. you need to pull it out from under the car.

Not actually, easily accomplished with the car's jack, and two jack stands (those stands with locks)

Reason being.. jackstands don't topple over easily unless you kick it really really really hard, while a car jack can sometimes topple over (and crushing you under the car)

Sorry to hear your first attempt at DIY failed. Good luck next time?

Anyway, I'd say a 2-3 ton lift would be a lot easier since you can stand under the car, but who in the DIY world would have that in his garage if he's not a mechanic?

Hmm, forgot to take foto when I was sweating out. I think even then u wud jus don wan to c...

Actually the short shift thrower is to reduce the distance of the gear engagement. For example a normal ori shifter each time u engage gear the distance is 4cm from neutral, instead of that ur reducing it by half maybe 2cm to the gear engagement.

Btw, it only apply on to (Manual) car only.
