Using your Cobb Stage 1 drivetrain package is easy. First, refer to the installation guides that come with the short shifter and rear shifter bushing. These guides will walk you through the intermediate - level installation process. Once installed, you can adjust the shifter throw and knob height to your personal preference. When driving, enjoy the improved shifter feel and reduced slop. As for maintenance, keep an eye on the shifter bushings. If you notice any excessive wear or slop returning, it might be time to check the bushings. You can clean the short shifter's aluminum body with a mild cleaner from time to time. Remember, don't use harsh chemicals on the anodized black finish. If you have any issues during installation or use, don't hesitate to contact our customer support.
