Mountune Short Shifter Install

[rodmoe]

Got my Mountune Short shifter install today.. And I mean today as it is a interesting install to say the least. But here are the results of my couple hour job that included taking the battery and battery box out as well as working by feel most of the time as the parts are placed in so well you need smallish hands which I didn't have LOL

Great video Moe, what's your driving impression so far?

 

[rodmoe]

its a lil tighter feel on first drive and way way shorter getting into 2nd and 4th as well as the toss up to 3rd seems to be shorter too... didn't get much time in the car after I get it done so ill hope to give a week old review and if I forget just remind me SO far So good. but the install takes times and make sure you have the correct size hex wrenches before you start

Just finished installing a Mountune short shift kit myself. No vid but I did measure shift lever movement from 3-4 gear before and after. About 70mm Vs 55mm.
A straight forward job providing you have some mechanical know how and the correct tools. Not much room to move is really the only problem.

Looking at the image, I have removed what I think was the reverse light switch to gain move room during installation.

From your video it looks like it takes a little more force to actually shift.
With the stock shifter you are just using your fingers and it looks effortless, but with the short shifter it looks like you had to switch to full hand shifting and some more muscle is needed.
Is this true?

As distance goes down, effort goes up. .. To me, after the conversion, .. it just feels ... "right". This is an improvement that you appreciate EVERY time you drive.
