It's compatible with factory or aftermarket shift knobs and comes with an installation guide. The rear shifter bushing, made of 85A durometer molded black urethane, eliminates front - to - back slop in the shifter, improves shifter feel, and is a direct OE replacement. The shifter bushing, with 95A durometer black urethane, gets rid of side - to - side slop in the stock shifter and enhances the shifter's feel. With this package, you can set the shifter throw and knob height according to your preference and eliminate slop caused by soft factory bushings.
Using this Cobb drivetrain package is straightforward. First, when installing the short shifter, follow the included installation guide. You can adjust the knob height to your liking, just make sure to measure carefully. After cutting the trim ring, you can also adjust the throw of the shifter. When installing the front and rear shifter bushings, be gentle as they are precision - made parts. As for maintenance, keep the shifter clean and lubricated regularly. Check the bushings from time to time for any signs of wear. If you notice any excessive slop returning, it might be time to inspect the bushings more closely. And remember, since these parts are high - quality replacements, they should last a long time with proper care.
