So i was trying to install my short shifter thingy, has to grind down a little of the plastic peice around the ball like the miata short shifter. So i push it in the slot of the shifter and the plastic peice gets stuck inside but the shifter came right out and i cant get the ball part of the shifter back in.... any idea what i should do now? hammer it in???

 

pull the nylon piece out with a hook tool and sand it down some more, it should slide freely not stick like that.

 

kool, i got it back out... the plastic looks a little stretched fromt the ball comming out... sand it down until it slide in freely then it will work? =)

 

yup

 

kool... got it in...Thanks Karack!!.. ..its like SUUUPERR STIFFF!!!! takes 2 hands to get it in 3rd, lol,, will it lossen up after a while???

 

try taking the wave washers out and put some axle grease on the bushings, originally FC shifters only had the lower bushing but the top one helps support it but it also add more resistance, adding some grease should help.

 

hhhmmm, i kind og spilled a lot of the gear oil, what kind should i add or how do i change it, its super black.

thanks
