I haven't been pressing the issue because of some warranty issues I am having.ĭamn that looks all messed up. I tried to take apart the oem shifter to keep from cutting the collar but no such luck. You have to reuse the rubber boot, and you must cut the collar. I might have liked the reverse lockout having alternate color options, but that would obviously increase the price of the unit. Other than this, it's a nice inexpensive solution to getting a short shifter. The lower edge where the o-ring sat became warped causing it to no longer fit without contacting the reverse lockout. The hex bolt that attaches the reverse lockout to the main shifter shaft. After stripping it down a few times and checking everything out I found the source of the problem. The real problem was with the rattle that came with it. I overbored the bushing and finally got it on. I didn't have a caliper around, so I passed drill bits through the oem until I found the closest match (3/8 was a little loose on the oem, but it was close enough).

I then discovered that the ID of the linkage bushing didn't fit, and that is what lead me to believe I was the first people to install these because it was clearly far too small. I have also found Megan Racing and Fidanza short shifters for the Protege also. From reading it seems that B&M, CorkSport (known prior as Kart) and TWM seem to be the most popular.
I've still been in contact with them and am still waiting for a revised, or fixed shifter.Īlthough cutting the Oem bushing to reuse it wasn't my first choice, I was fine with that. I know this is probably a dead and often beaten horse to listen to but I have some questions on short shifters. I understand that sometimes this happens in early production runs so I didn't make an issue with it. It was back in August and I went back and forth with the vendor about the issues I was having while I was installing. I only say that because some of the QC was way off. I actually think I might have installed the first Shiftek shifter on a twin. Actually, pineapplefriedrice, you had one of the first few.
