FSWERKS short shift and solid bushings review

[TyphoonFiST]

Yes...you are not the only one with this issue. I have encountered it sometimes also. If anyone has a fix I'd be curious to know.

Have you done the linkage adjustment procedures?

There was nothing in the instructions about linkage adjustment...

Have you done the linkage adjustment procedures?

This is news to me about an adjustment procedure....any directions or links on adjustment?

Found it. Search "Gearshift cable adjustment" in the forums here. There's a good video on page 4. It's a pretty easy procedure. Rip out all the stuff like you were installing bushings so you have access to the clutch cable connection at the tranny. Put the shifter in 4th, pop the clutch cable connection head off the ball and loosen the yellow clip on the neck. Be very careful not to break it. When the head moves freely pop it back on the knob and then lock the clip. Done.

I tore everything out and put it back in, then did the adjustment. Everything's cool now. Must have been user error on initial install. I'm thinking maybe the plate was off somehow, like maybe one of the bottom bushings wasn't seated right or something. I dunno.

I ran the shifter/trans., bushings and short shifter for 50 thousand miles on my first FiST. Really I couldn't tell any difference with the solid bushings. But the shorter shift reduction is sweet !

25% is too much IMO. the shift is almost nothing. I don't even want to know what the 30% mountune one feels like. 15% for me is perfect. Car feels much better now. I don't get that weird 1-2 click.

Loving the 25. It was a shock for the first day but now I'd happily go 30 or even more.

So I broke a piece of that yellow clip on the clutch cable off. It was so brittle I barely touched it and it bent and snapped. Everything still seems attached it was the very end of the clip on just one side do you think it will be okay?
