Hey all, like the subject says ^

I want to get the gear stick out to take to a place to be shortened and put back together, the thing is it will be cheaper for me to take it out and put it back in rather then paying someone else for their time to do it.

Ive taken off the knob, ripped up the interior, removed the leather and all the layers/brackets going down to the top of the box, until I got to what seemed like the last of the cover which was zip tied on (I didnt bother removing it as I dont have any zip ties to put it back on afterwards at the moment.

anyway the question is whats involved in removing just the stick, is there anything I have to be careful of as I dont really wanna destory anything or bump something out of place :)

any help or info on it is appreciated, thanks in advance.

there is alarge circlip which you need to be careful with other than that it is simple and you can see what needs to be done as you go. Please post or pm me the end result of your shortening. I've got a C's short shifter but I was thinking about shortening the lever a little.

putting in a short throuh. you have to put in a spacer plate. this involves removng the six bolts that ontop of the gear box that hold the gear stick in place. getting the plate off is easy but when you put the space plate in and try to get the bolts in it just doest work. cant get the botz in. my one is a c's i think and he spacer late is about 1cm thick maybe two. if you spacer plate is less you might be able to bo it

easest way is to grop the gear box mount so you have more room to get into the allen keys and tighten the nuts up. if you dont drop the gear box mounts the easiest way to get to the lt two boltz is to come from underneath the car

Fatz....had no problems fitting my C's, the kit had everything needed took me around 45 minutes. All done from the top

Klayman.... If you'r just shortening the top of the stick it is as I posted.....If you'r doing the bottom of it too, it is as Fatz posted you will need a spacer plate the right thickness and maybe longer bolts and maybe modify things to fit. That 's why the shop ones come in a kit.

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.

      Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol

      remote oil cooler hose size, 8,10 or an12?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.

      Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
