Installing a TWM Short Shifter

This is a brief tutorial for installing a TWM short throw shifter. It does not include every detail. I left out simple things like removing the center console.

will this short shifter fit any car??? please get back to me

[arcofadiver1]

@LukeKaboom It will fit any 2.2L and 2.4L Cobalt. The SS s/c and t/c Cobalts have a different gearbox.

dude just installed the short shifter on my Ion and I have to say that this video was helpful.

Definitely the 2 mistakes warning was great.

@badmufuca619 Thank you for the feedback. I am glad to hear it helped.

lol you stopped the video, do I have to assume that you shouldn't have got lazy and took it apart again lol. or at very least get the cables out of the way before you start cutting.

Im just giving you a hard time. I like the fact you did it your self and made a video of it.

[arcofadiver1]

I actually DIDN'T take it all apart again to cut that corner off. I just put my handsaw right into my center console and started cutting. But yeah, I guess I was kind of lazy when I made this. But at the same time it was hard to hold the camera while doing work.

hey, if u cut yourself on cam, that would be called entertainment. not embaressment. :) great job!

[MissB16a62g]

totally agree...if you like DIY jobs then go for it...

How does this actually make the 'shift' a shorter distance?

[FURYMUSTANG]

@arcofadiver1 How did you remove arm and ball from the housing, if you can let me know quickly I would appreciate it.

What did you do with the aluminum pulley-looking thing tthat fits on the shifter shaft? I can figure out what its for, maybe something to do with securing the boot?

wow youtube cant count.. 4:40, 4:41, 4:42, 4:44?

@joufu10 you can do an ATX to MTX swap, but you'd need a manual transmission for your car and the swap would be pretty expensive. your best chance is to find an MTX escort. I say go with a 98-03 escort ZX2.

Jesus... could be any more of a little bitch

para que sirve el short shifter???

[jun19020987]

On the stock shifter, there's a rubber boot that covers the ball joints.. Now my question is, if you order a short shifter on ebay, do they include that or you have to use your stock rubber boots? Because mine is bad and they dont have it auto parts store
