cheap short shifter? ebay??

[Dundy2456]

When I did mine, the lower boot sat over the large collar, bolt holes lined up nicely. However I didn't use that extra, thinner piece.. couldn't see a way for it to fit with the lower shift boot in place

[TTT]

yeah the inner collar I left out too.
I used it to press the plastic ring thing in to the large collar for the shifter ball part to sit in.

so everyone in agreement that this one is worth the effort and expense?

Yes, worth the time, effort and expense, allthough keep in mind you'll need a new lower shift boot. The total will bump up around $35 more depending on where you source one.

FYI - I took mine out.

I was missing a lower dust boot and the rubber shifter boot was torn anyway..
and my turret had no oil in it.

and since I had to fix the wobbling, I just put it all back together with the stock shifter till I go get a new bolt to stop it from spinning.

after 100km of driving, the plastic bit in the groove was all torn up due to me cutting the head of the screw off.
So I've snapped the plastic off, and now will take it and my bolt and collar to bunnings or some nut and bolt shop to get something that will fit snug.

then will swap back over at a later date.

Unlucky.. Let us know how you go at bunnings, if there's a generic screw that can replace the one with the kit then I'll buy it too, it seems the plastic notch delete is a popular mod :p

plastic notch delete happened at same time as center console delete. it was a deleting weekend.

why don't you measure the slot in the gear lever without the plastic insert...then measure the size of the guide pin.
then try to find plastic tubeing with a tight fit onto the guide pin and a slide fit into the gear lever slot.

or if you know a machinist have a nylon bushs made.

sounds like too much effort.
And, since I hacked up the head of the guide pin I need to replace it.

will dodge something up

Sounds like maybe better off spending a bit more on the cobalt with no problems.

I got one of those off ebay and just filed out the plastic till the pin fit, put it all together and it's working great..

This seems to work lol

Did it on the weekend when I found my boot was disintegrated too

[GTR4N]

But I ended up turning the glove inside out with the rubber part on the inside

[Dundy2456]

^ I'd be down for a group buy..

Man that Glove made me laugh.
nice work.
