I believe if you do not have 1/2 inch ratchet you can use a different one with required sockets ))

That's correct, whatever size driver you have should work as long as it's the right sized socket.

the hard part depends on if you get the bracket that Micro image can supply. the horseshoe clips on the OEM bracket are kind of a pain to get out, but once you get those out it only takes some time. if it was not for those clips it would have taken me less than an hour to install include removal of some parts that will be in the way.

Golddeenoh · 04-23-2012, 09:29 PM

about an hour and a half over all, i spent 45 minutes just trying to get those clip out. they are way easier going back in. if you have a dent puller(slide or slam hammer) that works great if you can get it under the edge and pop it a few times.

Are you not? I'd think you'd easily be able to outrun anything with all those.

To remove the horseshow clips just used big flat screwdriver (20 seconds to remove both)

Congrats! And 20 seconds to remove those clips? Lucky! Mine took a bit longer, as they were really stuck on there.

^ Yes it does!

I purchased the 3" extender and it shifted like a mack truck. I added the short throw shifter and it now shifts like it did at the stock height but at a much more comfortable position.

I am thinking seriously about getting the in-cabin one to go along with it.

it is worth the money, hands down.

ijose 845 · 05-18-2012, 05:13 PM

just got mine in today
i installed it however i coulent fit the washer on the top and the pin it is very tight in their i hope its okay
and would this damage anything or is it safe? because i really like the short shifts
