The first step in installing a precision sport shifter is to familiarize yourself with all the parts and the instructions in the kit. The following is a typical install. Yours may vary.
|
Remove the shift knob. Now is also a good time to consider a shift knob upgrade.
|
Remove and keep track of all the various fasteners, clips and connectors that hold down the center console or shifter surround.
|
The center console should lift away freely. Any resistance means you missed something. Don't force anything.
|
With the shifter exposed, find and disconnect the linkage to the transmission.
|
Remove the bolts holding the shifter base to the floor of the vehicle.
|
CNC-machined aluminum shifter base bushings will replace the stock rubber bushings.
|
On the left is the stock shifter. Make sure to orient your replacement shifter pivot arm in the same direction as stock.
|
Lubricate parts as required?this is especially important to prevent premature wear.
|
Complete and test for proper shifting before re-installing the center console or surround. Do not drive the vehicle unless all the gears can be smoothly engaged.
