Hey everyone I got my Helix short shifter installed this past weekend and am very pleased with the results. Overall it seems as though a little more effort is needed and the shifts are a bit notchier (is that a word???) but wow so much shorter. You can really bang through the gears much quicker. Here are a few shots I took before and after so you can get an idea of how much shorter the throw is....oh and notice the stock height is retained which is one of the reasons I got the Helix..that and the great price

Hope you all like. I took pictures of 5th and 6th before and after but I think you get the idea right?

Have you got any problem with the fifth gear?? because I heared before I couldn't remember from who. He has a problem with the fifth gear.

 

What is in your driver's side cup holder? Some kind of locking system?

 

Maybe something to change the oil....

 

Or the switch for ludicrous speed.....

 

Ding Ding Ding!!! HighLife4136 is correct!!! 36mm craftsman socket. Luys.....to answer your question no real problem getting into any specific gear. Just a little tight going into each gear.

+1 for no issues with 5th gear.

 

no issues at all. great mod. Doug

 

agreed....very good mod. I'm gonna try and work on the notchyness this weekend by bending the rod down a little bit more. Hopefully I just didn't bend it down far enough and that will solve the problem. I'll be sure to let everyone know.
