Is your right shifter cable rubbing on the plastic piece of the shifter base? I cut mine just to be safe. -------------------- |

QUOTE(TurbO @ Mar 4, 2006 - 8:23 PM) [snapback]402686[/snapback] damn i know what the issue is now...f*ck...i got screwed over on ebay with this crap...i dont think its a 7th gen short shifter...the bottom of the short shifter is long as hell...the reason why third gear is rough is because it's rubbing the bottom of the base of the shift...imma report false item!... Did you install the spacers? The bottem is suposed to be a good bit longer. It might not be a false item. If you put the spacers in, it raises it up, so it doesn't hit. Even with the spaces, there's a chance it could hit. That might be what's wrong with mine. If it fits in, it's most likely the right shifter. -------------------- Live Free, Be Happy

Remove all 4 stock rubber spacers. Replace with spacers from kit. Cut plastic where right shift cable rubs.

Man i just got mine installed yesterday, and i must say, why would anyone pay for a TRD or TWM. The 7th gen is cheap, yet still is very short and crisp. I love it. The best value I've seen in a while. Not to mention easy and quick as heck installation.

hi guys,
Is the shifter you talk about the std shifter from G7 or a short shifter kit for the G7 that seems to work on the G6?

The shipping to UK is $80 though Can't seem to find them on UK e-bay though or on usual jap performance component stores in the UK, looks like the US got the good deal on this mod
