ok, am I missing something?

thewayshemoves · July 3rd, 2008, 09:58 PM

I got a short throw shifter, and i absolutely cannot get my stock shifter out for the life of me. I've got all the bolts out, the dust cover off, everything. It will not budge. I cannot get it out for nothing. Am I missing something here? Is there some trick to getting this damn thing off? I can't pry it off because I'm not sure if it's just stuck or if I'm missing something.

pull harder

put the handle back on and pull.

just dont punch yourself in the face or hit the headliner

they can be a pain, but i assure you it will come out.

and dont forget to take the little plastic cap off the ball on the bottom of the old shifter and put it on the new one

and getting hit in the face with the shifter hurts, i put the knob back on mine just in case, and i am glad i did

i think i had to put mine down in 4th gear and just pull back on it pretty hard.

ok I got it off by tying a rope around it and me and my friend pulling the living fuck out of it... now the new one won't even go on....I swear this is the hardest fucking thing I've ever done...it's taken me four hours and I just got the new base back down. I can't get the arm on now...you know why? there wasn't any supplied fucking bolts...there's no threads on either side...how am I supposed to magically mate this together?

i went under the car and got under it with a flat head. what shifter did you buy? My pro 5.0 cam with everything but the sealant

I have the roush short throw and the roush shifter arm, there's nothing that I can attach the arm to it with...

BLK01SS · July 3rd, 2008, 11:54 PM

On the triax you put the base down, then the shifter goes in, then there is another piece that holds the shifter down that bolts to the base.

I just finished installing my TriAx the other day. It took a total of 30 minutes, and that included adjusting the stops. Not familiar with the Roush but it seemed straight forward to me.

bullitt5576 · July 4th, 2008, 12:36 AM

i put the roush in my car and it came with two allen head bolts and 2 lock washers to attach the arm, 4 gold colored washers and 4 bolts to hold the base down, where did you order it from?

thewayshemoves · July 4th, 2008, 01:28 AM

I ordered it from American Muscle, I didn't get those allen head bolts or anything. I ended up taking some bolts and nuts out of my 240 to make it work.
