I just installed a short throw stillen shifter----but its harder to shift through the gears than the stock shifter...anyone got any ideas????

 

It is supposed to be nothy compared to the OEM. Mine was extremely stiff when first put in. It took about 2 weeks to wear it in. You used to lithium grease right to lube the pivot ball?

 

Yeah i used lithium grease....so it will ease up after a while though?

 

I got Levoc shift **** more than a year in my car and I'm happy with it, but I don't know about stillen shifter. (Stillen sell Momo shift ***** and they will not fit really good to the Japanese vehicles... Buy Japanese shift ****)

 

I have a Stillen Short-Shifter. The shifts are supposed to be very tight. Its supposed to feel like it locks into the gear. I, however, didn't use any lithium grease on the ball. I haven't had any problems with it yet. I've had mine for about 6 months now, maybe more. The best thing you can do is replace your tranny fluid with Redline Synthetic MT-90 Tranny fluid.

Hope this helps...

Peace,
Mike

 

Thanks Guys!!!

 

This is the actual rod used to shift a manual tranny car, not the **** for an auto......

 

Yeah the MT-90 fluid helps alot. That combined with the short-****er almost makes it as smooth as the stock shifter.

 

OT, but your sig pic is f*cking awesome, man... that looks like a blast.
