I am considering one of these but I have had nothing but problems with my heat shield...am I going to have to cut/bend/remove my shield in order to ensure proper clearance on my P5? Thanks!

you've gotta bend it more. I have it on my car and the first time I didn't bend it enough. Just work with it a little more and it'll be fine

I took mine off. I live in Arizona where heat "can" be an issue. I removed the heatshield in 2004 and haven't had an issue yet.

I've heard some people say that removing the shield allows the bushings to heat up in some situations and makes the shifter really hard to shift...I would like to just tear it out, but I don't want to end up needing to reinstall it...that would totally suck.

 

[rednecks_r_us]

I took mine out in 2004 and have made it through several 115 degree summers in Phoenix. The kartboy bushings are awesome.

 

[delguini]

i mean cant you take off the heat sheild and just put it back on afterwards??

 

[BlueWolfCry]

yeh. I guess taking it off should be fine since if your cars moving at all, the heat is being blown away

install question

Stupid question...the bend of the shifter goes toward the back of the car, correct? The only install info I can find is on the TWM website. Also, are most of you greasing the bushings, or not...if so, how exactly are you greasing them? Thanks...the install is tomorrow!

 

[BlueWolfCry]

It does go towards the back. You can follow the TWM install almost word for word. You don't grease the bushings. Enjoy the shifter!

Installed the SS and it's pretty awesome...now I just need a Greddy weighted shift knob...

Too bad you couldn't have gotten teh KB shift knob. They were nicely weighted with a cool kartboy logo. Check mah pic above.

 

[MazdaSpeeder]

I didn't think they were weighted...I would definitely pick up one of those if I could find it, but I've heard great things about the Greddy...
