Nissan S15 Short Shifter Install - Failed EP

The boys try to install a short shifter on the MCM S15. This is the original MCM EP before it was scrapped (you'll see why) and re-shot.
Sometimes things just don't work out!

@scrfce123 I wouldn't say 100%. I have a bunch of Japanese vehicles (MR2, and 5 Honda motorcycles) and things do go wrong. Just not as much as on other vehicles... (*cough* like my freaking Grand Am... *cough*

[scrfce123]

@margolo ...thats cause its Japanese. They are meticulous that way. They do make some complex stuff, but it is guaranteed to work 100% of the time. I agree with the US ideology too; that if something is simple, there's less to go wrong - but from experience, the Japs are the only ones who seem prove otherwise.

@scrfce123 Right, I completely forgot that the trans was right under the shifter. That went right over my head. Still a lot of shit in the way though! Looking at some US cars there's a lot less stuff.

@krollalfa2 Consider yourself lucky. KFC is the worst rubbish you could ever expect to eat. No joke, I once took a bite of my burger only to find a large freaking FEATHER had ended up in my mouth! Just the thought makes me sick.

[scrfce123]

@margolo Thats because the MR2 has cable driven shift, so the shifter attaches to a linkage. With the S15, the shifter is directly in the box.

[margolo]

Fuck the S15 has a lot of shit in the way of the shifter. My MR2 is just pull of the trim, pop out the linkages and then unbolt the plate and it all comes out! Took me less than 10 minutes to pull it all out, then 30 minutes pull everything apart and clean then regrease it then 10 minutes to put back together.

@itsmeTIBOR dont forget the rally noise from the exhaust every time you let off the trotle

@krollalfa2 I guess you could take it to McDonald's but make sure your car is race legal with a roll cage and be sure to wear a helmet
