Short Throw Shifter!!!
Getting my short throw in a couple of days, just wondering if there is any easy way to install it, or is the twm install manual the only one out there?
Thanks
Thanks

If you haven't ordered yet go with a Cavalier shifter and save about $30. Whichever you get use TWM as guide. Just pull top 2 plastic pieces. Loosen 2 clips on cables (they just lift a little to release the cables). Remove 4 bolts holding shifter in place. Lift shifter and slide off cables. Use TWM for how to install shifter in shifter assembly. You shouldn't have to cut the assembly. You will need a zip tie (at least 6") to hold boot up and grease. You can do all the work with the shifter out of the car (TWM does some inside).

I think Pclears how to is for SS/SC. Use TWM http://www.twmperformance.com/manual...n%20Manual.pdf You doen't have to cut the base.

i used the TWM install guide and let me get ya a pic
Only thing i did do different was i removed the 3 screws that held the silver lockout in place and took that off. i think it looks nice.

That's the same shifter I have. If you put the boot down a notch on the RLO it won't be so tight. If you ceckout my gallery you can see how it looks in a dirty car LOL. I allso removed that piece. IMO the purple looks good with a black car.
