7853, Stillen Short Throw Shifter Help Needed Posted by brickardius, Jul-25-01 09:11 AM I am having problems with my shifter after about 1.5 yrs of use. I was driving back fr om getting a pack of smokes today and when I was pulling into my sub-division, I couldnt shift 1st or 2nd gear, just 3rd and 4th and reverse.... I found a pin when I took the center console apart, but I cant find out where it goes. Does anyone have the install manual or have had the same prob? It shows rub marks on the base of the unit like its off track somehow? | |

7854, RE: Stillen Short Throw Shifter Help Needed Posted by guest, Jul-25-01 10:34 AM The pin goes to the left bottom of the shifter. It holds it on the bar that runs to the front of the car. Should be a little hole where it is supposed to go. | |

7857, Might be your clutch Posted by Semperboost, Jul-25-01 01:09 PM If you have a hard time shifting and/ or shifting at hi rpms it could be a sign that your clutch is going out...just a guess. | |

7858, RE: Might be your clutch Posted by brickardius, Jul-25-01 01:45 PM Well, its not that I dont think... because I can shift 1st and 2nd, but I have to force it into place, it used to slide right into gear perfect then all of a sudden, no warning, just messed up... Plus, I just installed a new HRC stage V clutch not 3 months ago... Ohh well, I'll fool with it until I get it right.. | |

7860, RE: No!! Just lower your car some more! Posted by brickardius, Jul-26-01 02:03 PM If I put it in reverse, you can feel it bind up and then all the gears are real tight to shift... expecially 1st and 2nd... then if i fool with it a little I can get it out of the bind and it'll be ok.... wierd huh? | |

7861, RE: No!! Just lower your car some more! Posted by fastdsm, Jul-27-01 12:51 AM You probably want to check your cable guides, sometimes they pop out of place and can cause similar symptoms. | |

7862, RE: No!! Just lower your car some more! Posted by brickardius, Jul-27-01 06:36 AM Ok, I'll check, are you talking about the guides right by the shifter? The one closest to the shifter looks crooked, but I dont see how to make it stay in place?? You can see in the pics above that its crooked and thats my prob, but i dont know how it did that all of a sudden or how to fix it :-( | |
