Mr2 spyder short shifter install

First, you will need a very short or angled phillips head screwdriver to remove the 4 screws that hold the center console in place.

The rear screws are easy to get to when the seats are moved forward. However, the fronts can be a little tricky without the right tool. Also, be sure to disconnect the two window switch plugs located underneath the console before pulling the console out completely.

And finally, the stock rubber bushings are very easy to pry out with the screw driver, just make sure that when you install the solid bushings that the tapered end of each bushing piece faces the plastic shifter base on the top or bottom. To finish, simply reconnect the window switches and then reinstall the center console. Chris Simmons is a race car driver, instructor, business owner and all around gearhead.

Unscrew the shift knob from the shifter.

Locate and remove the forward screws on each side of the center console. This is a fantastic shifter, the best on the market in our experience. We sell a lot of them so we can offer a great price. Joshua Zacheis verified owner — August 23, Very firm feel when shifting. Excellent short shifter, install took about an hour, but I did other stuff like tighten e-brake and clean out inside of center console. Probably about a half hour for install.

Michael Brack verified owner — August 8, Hardware is a bit basic and consumer grade but does the job for a resonable price…. Devell Young verified owner — December 4, Marc Breazeale verified owner — January 28, This shifter is pretty fantastic.

It was an easy install. Not a lot to do. I would recommend doing this upgrade and the speed source solid brass shift bushings at the same time. The brass bushings make shifting more precise, which is helpful with the short throw shifter. Overall great product! Matthew Maliwauki verified owner — July 27, The only problem I had was with the bottom OEM pivot bearing that attaches to the shifter.

It seemed like the OEM pivot bearing was too small for the ball joint. John Miles verified owner — April 17, Only thing is shifter is way off. Neutral is way to the left. Other than that great product, solid quality by the looks of it, only time will tell. Other than being way off center, very pleased! Joseph Kessler verified owner — April 2,
