How Install Short Throw Shifter - Speed Manual Standard Transmission Shift
One way to make your car feel like a real sports car is to put a short shifter gear changer. The original equipment (OEM) is usually longer. I wish I would have known about the short shifter before because once i put it on my car, it was like,, WOW!!! it was much better the the stock shifter. so here are the steps to take on this tutorial guide on the installation of a new shifter.

1. the first thing to do is to buy one. I bought mine at ebay. you can find a large variety and option in ebay. For my 1996 Nissan 300zx there were alot of options to choose from. I bought mine for $30 bucks, it cost me like #40 dollars after shipping and handling.

2. once you have bought a new shifter, remove the original from the car.

3. as you can see here, this is the new and the old.

4. in my 1996 Nissan 300zx, i had to save the old bushings and chollar because the ones that the new shifter came with did not fit. on your car, you may not have to do, but just be cautious and not throw them away, you never know if you are going to need them.

you basically install it the same way. man, you are right, i have a honda and i follow your instructions here, i got mine at ebay and man, i love it, at first it felt weird because i wasn't sure if the shift was engaged, but now that im used to it, i love it. i should have done it sooner. do you have any other tips on how to make it better?

these instructions were helpful, especially the photos. thanks.

please note: for my 1992 350zx, i had to rotate part #3 180 degrees from what is shown in photo #6 in order to get enough through to catch gears 2, 4 and reverse.
