Just ordered my TMW big type R shift ****. satin finish, cant wait! hope taking my stock **** off wont give me as much trouble as everybody else. any pointers?

 

something like this.. oil filter wrench

 

got it with my bare hands. took me about 3 minutes. not gonna lie it was on there good but I have big hands. sure was a lot of blue locktite in that ****.

 

All this chat and no pics??? C'mon quit teasing us.

 

still waiting on the **** to come it. I just got the **** loose so when my TWM comes in I can slap it on. I will post a pic soon........I hope

 

 

You're lucky it came off so easily. Mine took two guys and a pair of giant pipe wrenches. I could only turn the **** 1/4 around with each effort, and it wasn't an insignificant effort, let me tell you.

This is what happened to the OEM ****:



But that's OK, because this is what replaced it:

 

That looks great!

Wish that could be done on the AT...

 

Reminds me of a Acura Integra Type-R shift ****. Makes your shifter look like you have a short shifter now.

 

Gorilla, where's the trim ring on that new ****? I don't see one in that pic.

In other shift-**** related topics, I've decided to purchase a similar **** before next winter, but this next one made out of Copolymer. The Titanium **** is beautiful, but when temps are below freezing, it's positively brutal to the touch. You have to wear a glove, all the time.

FYI for anyone who is thining of getting a solid aluminum or titanium ****, and lives where it gets seriously cold. Brr-r-r-r-r.

 

yeah, I currently do not have a trim ring, however shortly after I took this pic I went to home depot and bought a small black rubber bushing to go over the exposed shift stick so it keeps the shift boot stationary instead of sliding up and down. looks just fine now. and yeah Im sure it gets cold but check this out for hot/cold days
just go to any liquor store and buy the sample sized crown royal.

 

if I was to entertain the idea of a nice shift **** finisher to seamlessly bring the boot and **** together what would yall recommend? preferably a color that would match my satin finish....

 

Brushed aluminum, to match your ****.

LatheWerks would mill that for you. Shoot him an email with the diameter at the base of your TMW.

 

hummm? wonder how that would look. see how rounded the bottom of my **** is? wonder if I should go with a tapered finisher like yours or just go with like a straight shaft piece.

 

This is mine
