R3gister member, GTi777 shares a step-by-step installation guide for an Aussie-sourced B&M short shifter kit for his SGTi.
Tools needed:
- Philips head screwdriver
- Flat-blade screwdriver
- Needle-nose pliers
- 12mm Open-ended Spanner
- 1/2″ Open-ended Spanner
Start
Remove gear knob and plastic surrounding
Remove the cotto pin from the bottom of the shifter
Detach the fore-aft cable
Undo and reomove the pivot screw
Carefully remove the return spring
Remove the pivot bolt
Remove the plastic plugs and steel tube from stock shifter
Place the platsic plugs and steel tube into the new shifter
Put a bit of grease on the base pivot and slot into hole
“This bit is a little frustrating, it only just fits in”
Re-install the Pivot bolt
Place the fore-aft cable back on & install the supplied e-clip on shifter pin
Carefully place the return spring back in place
Place the stock washers and pivot bolt back on & tighten to firm grip
From here I just put a heap of marine grease everywhere
Wha-la all done, without any modifications or problems
A big thank you to GTi777 for a great guide and also for granting permission to republish this for the benefit of everyone at the R3gister. Cheerios!
