I installed my rogue short throw shifter and its awesome. feels good but now there is a little bit of "play" for lack of a better term, between the bottom of the shift **** and the shifter boot.

Is this normal? I can push the top of the shift boot (where it meets the bottom of the shift ****) down about 1/4, maybe 1/2 inch. I bothers me.

 

hmmm. i guess it'd help if i posted some pics of what i'm talking about.

i'll get some pics up later.

 

just came across your post... same thing happened to me - in my case, when I took off the shift ****, the brass ring/washer that normally sits on top of the oem shifter stayed inside the **** itself - so when I screwed the **** back on, the washer did not line up correctly over the threads of the shifter, preventing the **** to be screwed on properly the entire way.

Check to see that the washer is not stuck in the ****, take it out, and put it on the shifter. Then reinstall the ****.

 

Shouldn't be any play.

 

i had to add a rubber piece about 1-2 inches thick under my shift boot and hold that with a ziptie. then your shift boot should be higher. hope this helps

 

Why?
