Uhhhh dude, that 1" tall Ring is the spacer needed to make it a short shifter you douche…

Your the one installing it wrong…

That ring is what changes the pivot point… :lol:

Congrats you just spend $100 on a Stock Shifter 😃

ya wow man thats just stupid. the whole point is to put that collar in. i bet yours fits so nice and snug because you put everything back in without the collar and put the snap rings back in to hold it all down firmly.

bahahahahah

WTF :shock:  
I just went to see what it would be like with the blue collar in.  
I had a silver collar in there before, and I compared the sizes and they were the same.  
I put the blue one in anyways, and there was at LEAST 5mm of play and a further throw that the silver collar.  
So now i put the silver collar back in and its loose as goose again?  
Did i not put the square plate far enough on?

Aschon, Can you do a digital DIY?

i brought the megan ss and i finally figured out how to install it correctly. i have no play at all and it’s nice and firm. You do have to use the oem collar by cutting it open so you can snap it on the megan ss. This pervents it from poping up.

1. take everything off
2. put the oem bush socket in
3. cut the oem collar and snap it on the end of the megan ss
4. put the magan ss in, with the new bushiing at the end (make sure it goes in the small little hole
5. put the blue ring in so it sits on top of the collar
6. make sure the screws are long enough and screw one of the plate nuts on to the bottom of the blue spacer and make sure the flat side of the plate is on the bottom and than slide the square piece over the shifter (the plate should fit in the slots around the silver circle)
7. do the same for the other plate
8. tighten all the screws and put everything back on

9.DONE AND YOU GOT YOURSELF AN AWSOME SHORT THROW SHIFTER!

Silver Ring = OBX

Blue Ring = Megan

I’m talking about this piece…

You just used your stock one and it worked fine?

I found that on Eric’s car the stock one was to large for the Smaller  
Megan ball and allowd for about 3mm - 5mm of up and down play

it also has the solid tranny mount and shifter clamper.

makes shifting much more percise and removes all shaking from shifter while reving.

just wondering if you guys had to order the bushings for the shifter, i called most nissans in my area and they dont carry them in stock, i kinda wanted to install mine today too.

would anyone have an extra brand new “gear shifter spignot bushing” they can sell me?
