Can you provide more detail for how to remove the shifter bearing? The video does not provide the necessary detail as to how to break the corners. Stuck on this step. Thank you.

Hi, unfortunately our shop is located in Wood Dale, IL and we do not actually offer installation services on-location. We would recommend bringing your car in to a trusted mechanic if you do not have the tools to complete the install at home!

Shifter works great, my only issue is in neutral from side to side the shifter isn’t responsive and sticks to one side or very slowly moves from the side back to middle. Any ideas on what I may have done wrong?

Please double check that your linkages and shifter shaft are reinstalled properly. Also check to see if the SS assembly didn't pop out of the black plastic shifter cup

Does this kit work in the 2017 Kia Forte LX? I hate the reverse lockout button on the shift knob. This would fix that problem.

Hi! As the 2017 is the previous generation we're not certain that it will fit but there is a good chance given the transmissions are relatively the same.

I wish the Boomba lettering, etc. on the knob were red to match Forte GT's red stitching...

Can y'all make a video or drop a guide on how to install the short transmission adapter into the '21 forte gt? Much less daunting than the short throw shifter.

How do u get into reverse now
@BoombaRacing
@BoombaRacing 9 ай бұрын
The short throw shifter when installed will go into reverse utilizing the same motion as stock. If you are unable to go into reverse after installation we would suggest going back into the vehicle and checking over the install as all gears should be accessible.

@@BoombaRacing thanks for response. I purchased the ultimate kit last Monday on Memorial Day for $50 off. Was around $450. Just got done installing the trans adapter and bushings yesterday. What a great reduction in throws and the stabile feel of the shifter. Will be installing the shifter and base bushings this weekend I think.

The stock shift knob pulls off, you have to pull on it really hard though

Is this reversible? My Forte GT is a lease, and I'm considering this kit as my shifter is buzzing at 3k rpm, and a lotta forum jockeys say your kit helps resolve the issue. Thanks!

If this install is on the difficult side for you, we'd recommend the transmission adaptor for roughly the same amount of throw reduction. The install for that part is much easier and provides significant shifter feel improvement. www.boombaracing.com/hyundai-kia-6mt-transmission-adapter/

I just did this exact mod. I've never done a car modification of any kind and can't even change my own oil. I can change a tire, that's about it. I did this in about 2 hours with instructions. If I did this a couple times or were a mechanic, I would have it done from start to finish in 30-45 minutes.
