I installed my RennShifter last night (& wrapped up this a.m. - didn't have a 7/32'nd hex). Very nice product and the installation was super simple, at least if you've ever played with the shifter assy before. Plus my car has no interior or console or passenger seat so the access is fantastic.
Anyways, the only small glitch is that there's a bit of interference with the clutch tube on the left side of the tunnel when going for 4th or 5th gear. I can get it in gear OK but it's definitely making a little contact. What's the preferred way to push/bend the tube for clearance? I don't want to kink or break it, obviously. Can I just kinda pry on it with a screwdriver or something? Or would it be better to try to clamp it out of the way with an adel clamp kind of thing? The shifter feels great (in the garage).

I had the same problem. I used some metal 1/2" electrical cable clamps and clamped the clutch tube to the bottom of the tunnel in two locations. One location was forward and to the left of the shift of the shifter and one behind and to the right of the shifter. I used #14 sheet metal screws to hold the clamps on the tube. You might also want to make sure the driver's side seat belt or harness mounting bolt isn't interfering with the shift rod action (use a mirror to look down the tunnel).
Good luck, Kevin |
