    Default t50 short shifters

    ay all 86dc boys and girls



    so a while back now i got a short shifter cs i think . the other day i was reading on here how bad they are and they shit them self after a bit of driving .


    so with my car off the road for a while i rebuilt the shifter




    1 remove gearbox boot cover
    2 undo 4 bolts holding shifter in to the gearbox
    3 there is a clip at the top of the shifter housing remove this clip
    4 you will now be able to remove the stick from the housing
    5 clean all parts with a rag
    6 find a spring from a horn like i used cut down the spring and roll over shifter
    7 pack housing with grease
    8 place shifter back in postion
    9 place clip back over housing
    10 and bolt up again


    i find this to take away a lot of play that shifter had before doing this

    Ive found they tend to wreck the ring gears on the syncro. Cause the syncro hasnt slowed down enough before it selects the gear.

    Personally i like the stock ones

    TRD ones seem to be HELLA noisy unless they're new

    C's are pretty decent

    TRD ones don't have any dampening rubber in the shaft, so they get a bit noisy.

    unless you're resting your knee on it while driving the centering springs will vibrate pretty badly.

    C's are a little better, but they have a quicker throw than the TRD ones i think, which kills the boxes if you are flat shifting and that shit.
