b1g_dav3 Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Hey, just wondering how difficult a short-shift stick is to put in? http://www.mountunestore.com/Product/Short-Throw-Shifter That one in particular, being a lease car I need to ninja-install something like this, and I'm not overly mechanicy, so how easy would it be to put in and what's involved? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b1g_dav3 Posted April 17, 2012 Author Share Posted April 17, 2012 Let me know what's involved in the mod, I'm looking at a week until I can order one :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FezMP145 Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 It's quite straight forward.. Removal: remove gear knob and gaiter, Remove side panels and top section of the center console, disconnect the selection cables, undo 4 nuts, remove. Fitting: do the above in reverse I have mine already, and it will be installed at the weekend, full install instructions in the box. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b1g_dav3 Posted April 20, 2012 Author Share Posted April 20, 2012 Really hate the gear-selector on the Fez, it's a big spongey and meh. This is a much needed part :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b1g_dav3 Posted April 20, 2012 Author Share Posted April 20, 2012 I'm doing without the Mountune badged gaiter, I just want the function, plus lease car so ninja-fitting :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FezMP145 Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Right, well mine has been installed, and feels fantastic, shift is nice and smooth. Full Shot Side Shot Although, if anyone does fit this there are a couple of things the Mountune instructions do not advise you to do. So I will fill in some advisory gaps in instructions: 1. When removing the gaiter and surround pull up from the furthest point else you will end up snapping retaining lugs: 2. Remove the section just below the gaiter surround also, as this will make removing/refitting the side panels easier, again pulling from the furthest point helps Remembering to disconnect the 12v and aux/usb connector: 3. After removing the two Torx (Mountune say it's T27, I found mine were T30) in Step6, it's advised the also remove the rear 2 plastic screws seen here (one on either side): And remove the between seats center console completely, leaving you with a lot more room to play, as you will need it: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motocrossmad Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 i ordered the steeda kit withthe alloy mountings aswell. reduces gear throw more than the mountune part and is amazing quality aswell. i looked at the mountune part before i ordered and was not as impressed as i was with the steeda part. bit more expensive but worththe extra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
