BB, if I remember the instructions correctly, that plastic spacer is for the 370Z.

 

dunno what plastic spacer you guys are talking about lol... the only plastic piece I got was for keeping the boot from sinking down into the hole area.

Also, I just went for a drive. Feels really crisp, but I need to loosen the bushing in the morning when there's more light and less mosquitos. I have like 6 bites on my face from being out there all night lol... no wonder they kept off my arms. Other than how hard it is for me to shift right now, I like it. Once I loosen that bushing it should be better. Also, pics tomorrow

 

I used the plastic spacer to give the outer rubber boot something to fit tightly onto instead of being loose on the shifter shaft. I believe I can remove it without taking the whole console out, just need to remove the **** again. I'll see if that solves the problem.

Mine is a tiny bit stiff too so I think I may crawl back under and loosen it some as well. I did torque it to 8 ft/lbs which isn't much at all.

 

Well, I double checked the installation and everything is as it should be. The plastic spacer isn't the issue, I removed it and it still vibrates like crazy. I even tried removing the **** to make sure it wasn't the culprit. It isn't. The damn thing just vibrates. I'm thinking perhaps my aftermarket clutch and flywheel might make it worse. But it is terrible. I'm not happy with it.

At first I was like .
But now I'm like .

Has anyone else installed theirs yet?

 

Mine is shipping out next week (don't know why mine is taking so long...), and I am running an OS giken, so I will let you know if it has the same issue..

 

I just installed mine in about a little over an hour. I got in on this group buy late, I'm glad I did. This is my second TWM shifter, the last being on a 06 TC. I'm happy with the install. I also went with a satin A6 leopard shift **** that looks amazing.

 

Sorry to hear BB. Get a hold of TWM and tell them of the issues. I'm sure they will be able to help in some way.

 

That satin A6 goes great with our trim, doesn't it? I love mine.

Can't wait to install my short shifter. Home in four days!

 

I went out and took it apart and inspected everything. I loosened the bolt holding the shifter but it still shifts somewhat clunky, I guess that's just the nature of the part. As far as my vibration/rattle issue, I fabricated my own little part to help with that. I got a piece of 1/16" thick rubber and cut 2 gaskets and placed them on top and bottom of the metal spacer (the one above the cup and below the reverse lockout plate). That seemed to help quite a bit. I also noticed that a lot of the rattle/vibration seemed to com from my OEM shift **** itself. I never had any before, but now with the TWM it does. It's much better than it was before the gaskets, but I may consider trying a new shift ****, although I've researched and seen that changing to different ***** doesn't seem to help most people who have shifter vibration.

 

Yeah I thought the choice was a no brainer.

 

Finished installing mine. No clunking at all and greatly reduced whatever vibration that was there. Loving it! I'll have a detailed review with pics later..

Anyone that got in on the group buy and thinking twice about the purchase/install and want to sale??? PM me...

Thanks,
Mike K.

 

Actually I was considering that very thing. I'll be in touch with you when I decide. Soon.

 

I just got off the phone with TWM Performance. They said the group buy is good till the end of the month. So, if there are any more late comers like myself go for it. Haven't been on the forum for some time. Been spending all my money on motorcycles. Cold weather is coming and I've finished all my cycle mod.s. Time to get back to my G. If theres something I need to do with the guy who started the group buy please pm me. Like do I need to order through the forum or is there a discount code I need to enter?

 

any updates on install of this??? Sounds like there were a lot of probs
