Got it the first time.
I had to swap out the Rennshifter for a stock shift temporarily. After the stock unit was in I pulled it over to the passenger door with bungi cord. Then went under the car and turned the shift rod clockwise as far as it could go, inserted a support to keep it from moving while I tightened the pinch bolt. Wow, that was easy ! |

Hmmmm..... thinking about giving this method a try this weekend. My shifter alignment is close to being on, but not as good as I remember it being before attempting to improve the adjustment. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Right now it's too easy to nick reverse when downshifting into 2nd. Hopefully this well help. Anyone know the torque specks on the pinch bolt? |

While I was doing this, I was wondering whether anyone has installed the new Tangerine shift rod adjuster ? Seems like a great idea; even though mine goes into all the gears on the first try, I have the feeling it still needs a micro adjustment in one direction or the other - with the current set up, I,m afraid those tiny adjustments may get away from me.

Anyone ? |

OK I am going to swap out going the opposite direction....moving to a Rennshifter from stock sideshifter set up. How do you adjust the Rennshifter upon install??

How do you adjust the Rennshifter upon install?? Seems like the same procedure; get the rod turned all the way clockwise; then pull the shifter toward the passenger door and tighten that pinch bolt. I'm going to switch back to the Rennshift after a mod to the base is completed....so if you learn a better way, I'd sure like to know (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
