Starting with an empty hole.
 Put in the spacer.
 Like so.
Insert wave washer.
 Insert the plastic piece with the rods
 Insert the lower half of the shifter, make sure you lube the white nipple.
 Now the plastic retainer. If you have a gasket to cover the plastic parts insert now. I don't have it for some reason, but I'm doing without it :-/
 Put on the bracket with the C on the bottom with with the nut facing down. Screw the top piece on and then put on the plastic cover. (Sorry forgot to take a pic in between the two steps.  Screw on the second half of the shifter.
 Put on the dust boot and the metal bracket.
 Then put the consul assembly back on fallowed by the knob.

When I first put in my short shifter I did it the same way you did. Then I had to drop everything out for the sr swap. I just happened to run into this thread and decided to put the shifter back together out of curiosity. Now only if I can get my sr running...

Will this also work for nissan 180sx? I was just wondering if theres a differences b/w the nissan 240sx shifter to the nissan 180sx shifter. I bought the same V1 Short shifter and when I took out my old stock one on my 180sx, I noticed that it had a shorter end compared to the V1 short shifter and when I put the v1 s.shifter it had a bit of space on the ball joint part, but when I put back my stock shifter it fits perfectly... now is that normal or perhaps I bought the wrong type of V1 short shifter? here is the picture of what I bought.

they should be the same depending on what year your 180sx is. if u have an sr the transmission is essentially the same, if u have a ca, i have no idea

nice pix-step by step!from lookin at this, i now know i'm missing a wave washer & that plastic retainer thingie...  is it a good idea to put some blue thread lock on the bolts that hold the C-clamps down? from the past threads about this type of short shifter, i heard that sometimes they'll become loose n pop off!

I just bought a similar one but I can't seem to get the stock plastic retainer off the stock shifter. Did your kit come with one? The OEM shifter is too big on both sides to get the plastic retainer off

Good point, I don't know how BTown got it off the stock shifter either, but when I did this on my old hatch I just installed the short shifter without it, this is what what I did

The plastic piece with the rods will not come out. The rung that held the c clip in is a lip and the plastic piece won't go any further up. I'm only doing a short shifter because someone sawed off the shifter to make it a fake short shifter and got rid of the threads. When I went to put a greddy on, I found the old one was a clamp on knob. I guess I'm abandoning this and going to the junk yard.
