just bought the pacesetter short throw and installed it. I reattached the heat shield underneath and just tried shifting through the gears, but I made the throw short enough that the control arm is rubbing on the sield. I know the directions say to cut a hole in it if its rubbing so I did, but the whole control arm is rubbing the length of the heat shield, so I cant make a hole in it that big. How important is the heat shield? can I just leave it off?

 

Another one solved by that mysterious search feature. Try it somtimes it is fun.

yeah, I searched for short throw shifter, and turned up no results saying anything about the heatshield. When I searched for heatshield about 40 times the server was buisy, pobably cuz you guys spend you whole lives on here. so I just decided to post. did it really hurt you so bad?

 

So I help you then you get upset by it? I dont understand why. If the server is slowed down then like it says try again later. It is busy for me as well but I kept at it for you. Next time though, maybe not.

all I'm sayin is that I did use the "mysterious search function". In fact, I use it all the time. thanks for your help though...

 

Where did you get your Pacesetter? And yes, I have "searched" and gone to all the webpages listed in the forums, no go.

 

maybe some of us know about another "mysterious search"?

Does it do that on every shifter?? I just order one but haven't got it installed yet.

 

If the throw is short enough, then it will hit the heat shield and sound like your shifting a tin can POS. Leave it off or cut a hole in it. I, like others, elected to leave it off and have no problems.

 

OH NO, not the search option post again!!!!
KRUSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS..........EJECT,EJECT!!!! !!!!

 

I tried cutting a hole in mine last week and it was still making noise so yesterday I decided to remove the whole shield. Others have done it and are having no trouble. I'm going to give a go too.
