Yup I will do that, I am pretty sure it has a ring? Could be wrong though. Its on the list of things to do. Thanks!

You're right. I just went back through my pictures and see the TWM has a white plastic ring. Weird that I don't have the rattle. Possibly because of the rubber o-ring I added. I'm sure it'll rattle now that I said it doesn't. :icon14:

Just finished installing this. Write Up made it really easy. I took my time so it took a couple hours. Hardest parts for me were removing the bolt from the bottom of the linkage and removing the white cup from the stock shifter.

I found that pulling down on the shifter from under the car (ie compress the spring like when reversing) it made it more accessible to get the socket on the bolt head.

To remove the white cup I found that adding new grease made it come off easier.

Funny enough getting the dust boot back on was the easiest part of this install and took me 30 seconds. The key is starting from the front and using two hands to pull around on both sides.

Haven't driven it yet so I cannot comment on that.

I'm glad it helped. :tiphat:

I think TWM should send me a t-shirt or something :bowrofl:

I hung around with Z34_nismo and he did his ST shifter. Can't wait till I'm able to get mine.

I picked up a TWM short shifter from a fellow forum member this weekend and will be tackling this soon. Seems like just about every question has been asked and answered, so :tiphat: to everyone for that.

However, I was wondering if you guys had to jack up the car to get to the underside of the shifter assembly? Being a big fat a$$, I am concerned whether I can get far enough under the car to reach the linkage without jacking it up :icon17:

No chance, unless you're a 99lb girl, you are not going to fit. It's best to jack the car up on jack stands or a hoist.

nismo doesn't even use jackstands or jacks. he just lifts the car with one arm. :tup:
