see the nut on top? that's as far as it'll go and it doesn't look very secure

 

Is the nut the right thread pitch for the shifter??


Yager-

 

its a lock nut. It has some kind of plastic on the end. You can't hand tighten it unless your the Hulk. Use a wrench and it will tighten.

 

use a lock washer too.. plus a few washer , so there is no rattle

 

thanks

dont mean to thread jack, but my skunk2 SS likes to bang against my N1 piping :\

anyone else have this problem?

 

theif!

I have greddy sp and doesn't seem to have this problem. Yes I know it's not an N1.

After the install I thougth I screwed something up because it wouldn't move, turn out that it's just stiff. Speaking of bushing, I couldn't get the ring bushing connected to the transmission to go in.

I even tried to grease it

here is an install blooper picture. I thought that's where it goes.

 

There should be little washers or something in addition to the spacer, that should go on each side of the bearing in the shifter that prevents you from overtightening it. Since it has the bearing it will still be able to move no matter how much you tighten it. That's how it is w/ my generic shifter.

Also the actual shift linkage fork will take up some more space on that bolt.
