My green thing is still in-tact :o

 

Well my hymee is still in-tact. So there. :D

 

ok,
i did not go out and feel the shaft, im not like that. i did take off the **** and look under the boot and low and behold there it was. i thought it was between the plate that bolts to the frame and the frame. thought i saw a pic of it like that.

anyway damn if that doesnt help, how do it do dat?????
guess that is my mod of the week and free, thx.

btw, hymee scanalizer very very cool. cant wait till i get it all figured out.

beers

 

Sounds like I need to try this mod!!!

Btw, swoope, just when you get it all worked out, we'll have the new version ready with more bells, whistles and functionality!

Cheers,
Hymee.

 

One would think that taking out the insulation would be wrong. But remember that this mod was thought up by an Aussie and since gravity works different down there maybe it's some sort of Aussie VooDo from the Outback.

From an engineering point of view I am at a loss. But everyone says it works even up here on this side.

 

yea,
i got an email in already, the beta thing, been doing the beta thing for years with flt sims. and a suggestion.

as to the green thing, between that and the syn fluid i put in the tranny the shifting is perrrrrrfect.

hope to get down under early next year. hope not to come back.

This is how it does it........click to see post 64 of the DIY.

 

swoope, a guy who signs off with the sig "beers"...... is already halfway approved when it comes to obtaining an Australian visa.... :D

 

thx gomez,
pretty sure i had mine on before the thread got that deep.. got to figure out where i saw the other padding.

beers

 

if you look at my public profile i think im in!!!!!!! wonder how much look it would be to bring my bike and car. i can get everything else i need there.

Put my short shifter in last night - fantastic! Click here for my little report...

 

easiest fricken upgrade ever. 15 minutes.....yeah. Just went for a drive and 2nd to 3rd is awsome....4th to 5th is weird cause you don't have to shove the stick over anymore...it's almost like you're going into third again.

wow.

Thanks for the DIY.

 

My pleasure...... .

 

Excellent DIY Gomez!!! I could have done the installation in about 20 minutes, except I broke that damn tab! hahaha

I also want to note the very high quality and craftsmanship of this AFE short shifter. Richard Paul, you did an excellant job!

Thanks Fanman for the hook-up!

 

i gotta get me one...i tried it out on fanmans car and it was nice!

 

reverse is always a little tricky getting into..but the rest of the gears are fun.

 

what do u do if u break the tab???

 

Nothing...just say damn. I would assume you may have a rattle coming your way is all....

 

Actually, my dumb *** broke the tab, so I glued it back together with Gorilla Glue! So far, it's been holding and no rattles!

 

i will finally have one by next month! bout dam time...

 

Yep, you have been slack....

Regards the demon tab, don't sweat too much if you break it. I know a few who have and no-one has reported any rattle problems.

 

I managed to break the tab on Wildcard's car... and swapped his cover for mine (with a good tab still intact). I've had a rattle or two from it but don't think it will be hard to eliminate.

The trick to not breaking the tab is to follow Mazda's instructions and use a tape covered screwdriver between the console cover and fake aluminium strip to pry the cover up. I didn't do this on this one occasion and suffered the broken tab.

 

Start from the front and you will not break the tab.
Very galant of you SCO to give him your cover.

 

I would suggest adding that to the DIY in bold. I remember doing that when I installed the PIE converter, but forgot about it when doing the shifter install. I have done two shifter installs, and have broken the tab once. Not a good success/fail records. No major rattles though, yet.

 

I have to convince Gomez of it first. It's his thread not mine. Maybe he can try it and see if it works. Then he can discribe it better then I.
Busy Gomez??
Thing to Gomez are you there?
