ok, im getting a b &m short throw shifter isntalled on my eg. i read the directions and i am fairly new to doing mechanical work on my car, since im getting my inspection i am going to ask my mechanic 2 do it and ill watch him and then i can learn and do it in the future if i need to install anotehr one. whats the maxiumum i should pay to get my short throw installed???

 

why dont you just do it yourself? It only took me and a friend under an hour to install my short shifter. Its not gonna be difficult.

 

because i rather be safe then sorry, i rather watch my mechancic do it and have him explain to me how 2 do everythign and then ill noe for the future

 

How much is it costing you? There is a DIY here on how to do it, and really, it's quite difficult to screw it up

 

i wouldnt pay anything. Really, this is something thats hard to screw up.

 

its very simple to do and dosnt take long. just need the everyday sockets and wrenchs. u'll learn alot more from actually doing it than watching someone do it..

 

id like 2 do it myself, i looked at the dyi for the short shifter, it provides good pics but im still confused, i need another dyi maybe with more pics and more directions that provide informatio for each step, can someone help me??

 

Well I'm going to be putting a dc sports short shifter in my car when it warms up. I don't know how long it will be but if you still don't have yours installed by then I can take tons of pictures for you.

 

I just installed my B&M 45047 tonite, with Energy Suspension 16.1102 stabilizer bushings.



The installation was easy and straightforward. Mainly need 12mm wrenches/sockets, and a torque wrench capable of doing 16ftlbs. Followed the install instruction in the DIY section. PM/Email me if you have any questions, if you'd like my number I'll PM it to you and ask away even if you're in the middle of the install.

After the install...I am in LUST!!! Good gawd the OEM shifter was like shifting in week old oatmeal compared to this thing.

 

Very original. I'll give that comparison a 9.5 [sm=groupwave.gif][sm=groupwave.gif]



I'm sure if you look around you'll find hundreds of DIY and install pictures. You can also get a Haynes manual for your car.
