hey I got a question. I was looking at higi's short shifter and was wondering how that thing stays in there without the circular metal piece that screws the shifter down.

 

is my thread here, the forum is acting wierd?

 

Its here and I have no idea.

 

lol, and damnit! I know it's not the upper bushing that is keeping it in place?

 

The metal circular ring holds it down like all my C's short shifter. It's supposed to be included. They're shown in his pics.

 

I don't understand what you are talking about. It screws in just the same way as any other shifter?

ok is it in this pic?

 

How are you missing it? It's laying right next to the shifter. :-/

 

ok picture time here is the O.G. stock shifter with the ring I'm talking about circled.

 

here is the new shifter installed but the only thing keeping it in is the bushing.

 

can anyone take a quick pic of their higi or c's install, like mine above? THanks.

 

You're confusing me so much my head hurts. Give me a few minutes, if I can find my camera I'll snap a pic.

 

I'm so nice I even took it apart to show you.





Did you put in the other spacer on the bottom? The smaller one I pictured above? Also did you lock the shifter in the hook at the bottom of the shifter assembly?

 

hey thanks! Ok I don't have that piece that says m513 on it. Is that from the stock shifter? Also how do I hook it in? Thanks Man I owe you one bigtime!

 

That m513 thing is part of my C's shifter.

First take out stock shifter. Second grab the small spacer (shown above) and put it in with the groove face down to fit over the nub in the stock assembly. Next grab the short shifter rod and put the spacer with the 3 threaded holes to the middle of the rod. The bigger spacer (with 3 holes) should have the nub closer to the top so it locks into the groove in the short shifter rod. Jam the shifter into the assembly so the ball at the end gets hooked with the hook/clip at the bottom of the shifter assembly. You'll feel it go in. Finally rotate the bigger spacer to line up the holes and bolt them up. Hope that makes sense.

 

round piece with m513 is stock part and u have it in your car with your stock shifter

thats why its not included in my kit since there is no change in it

 

Didnt realize that. I got my C's used and it came like that.

 

how much shorter is higgi's height wise? ilike2eatricers you have a pic with it all put together with the boot and **** on?

 

No but it still sits really high. I want it to sit like 1-2 inches lower but I dont want to hack the shifter. The shifts are definately shorter but it still sits so freaking high.

 

ok thanks guys that is exactly how I have it the only problem is without the part that says m513 it can come out so how do I take that off the stock shifter? THanks again ilike2eatricers.

 

if u make it any shorter it will be harder for you to engange the shifter as the force required will greatly increase coause u will bring the action(force) to close to the fulcrum and load

 

anyone?

 

ba to the izump!
