Okay folks, here it is. The pictorial installation of the JWest Shift Kit. Everything went pretty smooth and the setup is real quality. We made a few Original Customs ((IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)) to it.
Here is the shifter, ready for modification. Isn't it just begging to be upgraded? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)  First we test fit.  Andy marks the holes.  See the marking?  Here they are...  Time out to install the shifter bushing. Grease up the cup.  Grease up the shifter ball.  Push the bushing onto the ball.  We drilled a hole in the bushing to let air escape. MUCH EASIER TO INSTALL!  Center punch the markings to keep the drill bit from wandering. Then pre-drill with a small drill bit. The center punch markings are too small for the large drill bit. So make the punches a bit bigger with the small drill (you don't need to go all the way through).  Center punches.  Start drilling! We used a letter P drill bit which was the Perfect size for a Porsche. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)  Your markings need to be pretty accurate or use a larger drill bit. We had to elongate one hole slightly.  The bolts fit though great!  Start the bolts.  Then tighten with a wrench.  Test fit the shift rod through the stock shifter piece.  Here it is in place.  Custom #1: James supplies a bolt to hold things in place. Andy and I decided to grind a stock cone screw. For only one reason, it's more original. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) The bolt would work fine and doesn't use up an extra 15 minutes.  After grinding it threads all the way in and holds firm.  Remove the rod again and grease the bushings.  Custom #2: We decided to sacrifice Andy's old shifter cover and rivet the 'tube' on the other side of the new one.  We sealed it up with RTV.  And finally cleaned up the excess once it dried.  This is only the beginning: Click here for part 2 |
