I put in my STS last weekend and it is a little of a struggle to get it into reverse. If i put it in reverse then neutral then reverse it goes real easy. Another thing I was curious about is that the reverse lock goes down after put in gear, I cant remember if the OEM shifter did the same.

 

did you mark the shifter cables before you took the stock shifter out?

 

No i didn't mark the cables I only had to take out the one with the black connector. I put it back on so there was around 3/8s of cable showing.

 

It's TWM. And you have to adjust the left cable

 

Is the left cable adjustment in the direcions? Where do I have to aadjust it to?

 

i didnt have to adjust the the left cable how tight did you make the bolt for the lock out

 

I dont have any problems with reverse, but I have a problem getting it into 5th the shifter moves to far to the right and wont go in gear, I have to wiggle it around a little bit and it will go in gear, I didnt take either of the clips of I just popped the shifter out of the clip and left it in the car.

 

Which bolt? The one that goes though the lockout into the shifter or the top one?

 

yeah i was talking about that one but since you have troubl getting into 5th i would put the car in 4th and movethe cable adjustment a little more up and check
