I currently have a no name eBay short shifter in my car, and about a week after I installed it I read that I should have bought the energy bushings and it would have made a waay bigger difference. Well, I finally dished out and bout a Skunk2 short shifter and the bushings, but before I install I have 1 question:
do the 2 round pieces go where the shifter and linkage meet? Or do I have to take the linkage out and put them where the linkage connects to the tranny?

Thanks in advance, can't wait to put it all in!

 

shifter and linkage

 

Thanks, also does the little metal sleeve go up there too?

 

the little metal sleeve should go into that ball at the end of the shifter.

 

i have the shifter in my hand, the sleeve wont fit through the whole at the bottom. im waiting for it to stp raining so i can go put it on

 

take pictures, it should fit. i need to see what youre doing.

 

The sleeves not gonna fit in there.

 

take pictures of all the parts youre talking about maybe im thinking of something else.

 

I had the same problem with my skunk 2 short shifter. When I called them, the rep said to simply put a clamp on it to get those in, or put it in a vice grip. I did it, and it worked almost immediately. The reps at Skunk2 were extremely helpful.

 

So i just squeeze in into the shifter and let the other piece pop out?will it matter if I just leave it as is? or will it make a big diff?
