So how long did it take for you to get the shifter once you ordered it?

I just sent money the other day for mine.

And let us know how the install went....

5 business days on average. If you live in California, probably 1-2.

Post by **UncleBen** » Tue May 25, 2004 4:50 pm

I will definately let you know how the install went...

I got my screws at autozone no problem....

I dont have that one pair of pliars, but I think I can make something around here work, I shall see....

I got them shifter 5 business days after I ordered it, and I am in KY.

Ok install not-successful because of no 'special pliers.'

I will buy the pliers tomorrow and finish it.

EDIT: I found some pliers here at the house that are pretty similiar, and that dam c-clip will NOT come out. I am getting pissed off.

EDIT 2: Definately going to invest in some snap ring pliers.

Man, I've been debating this, and I really want to pick one of these up. I HOPEFULLY will be sending payment soon.

How the **** do you get the C ring back into the shifter well when the new shifter is sitting there with that plastic ring around it? It is sitting to high to get that C ring back into position. Since the old shifter sits lower that ring will go right back in, but not with this new one. Am I the only one that has had this problem?!

Post by **UncleBen** » Tue May 25, 2004 4:50 pm

Ok, I figured it out and got the shifter in, finally.

All in all, it was DEFINATELY WORTH the $60. Smooth, solid and direct shifts. I might have gotten pissed off, but it feels absolutely solid and I'm loving it.

Thanks underground!

Oh yea, I can't use my Greddy shiftknob with it though

How long will this last? I am planning to go SR20DET and will know if I am going to be able to go through with it around august 20th or so. (I have insurance money coming to me when I turn 18 on the 14th)

That's fine. I should have these for a little while longer if Megan will continue our NICO member discount.

so where's my tracking number, underground?

i sent you paypal via thingsforjason<at>charter.net

thanks

Megan typically doesn't give me tracking #'s unless I request them.

When they said they ship, that's what they mean.

Yours has been sent.

I just installed another today into a S14. I decided to use the tip off the OEM Shifter. This is the way to go.

I noticed the sound was reduced 80% by using the tip. No more metal to metal banging.

I also wrapped some tape around the upper ball. With these two mods, I have less noise than my OEM shifter.

This thing is amazing!

Post by **gabossie** » Tue May 25, 2004 4:50 pm

what kind of tape? Like electrical tape?

Post by **nissandrift** » Tue May 25, 2004 4:50 pm

How much longer will thiis price last, Id like to order one monday or Tuesday?

Post by **underground** » Tue May 25, 2004 4:50 pm

Electrical tape is what I used. The stock OEM shifter upper ball is a little thicker than the Megan one. I just wrapped a few pieces of tap around it, and cut grooves for the joints to slide in.

I also placed the OEM c-ring back in the hole, but I didn't have to push it in the grove. I just simply put the blue ring over it and that applied plenty enough pressure to keep the thing from bouncing around.

This way the shifter feels ultra stiff. My last one I installed had much more play.

I like this way more as its throws are much more noticablely short.

It feels very solid.

Post by **UncleBen** » Tue May 25, 2004 4:50 pm

Yes, that c-ring is just sittin atop that plastic ring, and with that blue thing on top, that is plenty of pressure to make this shifter VERY stiff. Very good feeling shifter, I am impressed.

It likes to kick out of 2nd gear sometimes, but I will fix this by loosening one of the screws. Other then that, and the noise which I will try the electrical tape thing, I am very pleased!!!

Post by **underground** » Tue May 25, 2004 4:50 pm

Yeah, if you make it looser, it won't slip out of gear. Mine did that in 2nd as well. And it was hard to get in reverse.

Once I loosened it, It was all glad.
