wejust installed ashort shifter and polyurethane bushing and tried to shift thecar and it was extremely hard to move the shifter!
the shifter would go into each gear andmoveside to side in neutral but very difficult to get into gear

wehave not turned the car on until we were sure so let us know if we need to turn the car on for any reason
thanks!

first, learn english.. you know, spaces help us understand what you are saying....howwould youlikeif italkedlikethis thewhol etime
2nd, check the linkage and make sure everything was put into place correctly, it's probally your bushings. try shifting it a bit with the car off to break them in, then you might be good to go. other wise make sure you installed everything correctly

damn calm down
the space bar on my friend's keyboard is a bit iffy

 

make sure you got the right shifter bushing for the linkage(?)

Perhaps you overtightened the fork that bolts up to the shifter pole

 

i got a short throw with poly and i lve it . hope it works out.

 

there is a plastic collar that the shift ball sits in. If it is not seated properly then it could cause stiff shifting.

 

yoiu have to loosen the bolt, if not put some lub on it

 

also check the bolt that attaches the shirter to the linkage. if you over tightened it, it could make it difficult to move the shifter.

 

use some lubrication where the ball is.

i have a never use skunk2 dual bend short shifter if any interested. $110 ship. pm for pics.

 

you have the bolt that goes through shifter too tight!!!

you're right ! the bolt that holds the shifter was too tight!!
thanks guys

 

The bitch bolt is the bolt that attaches the end of the shifter to the shift linkage. If that is torqued down it will cause difficulty in shifting. Try loosening that. Also, if you install poly bushings it should come with a special little tube of lube you need that as well between all the bushings so that it doesn't squeak.

 

yeah same thing happened to me, i tighted the bolt to much and that thing was hard to shift.
