Big old tip if you arent installi g the bushings and its just the shifter. Shift into reverse before or after hammering the lockout pin. Makes it easier to put back on and align and put the pin back in. And if you guys lose it, buy a rollpin set!

Alright. Finished this. Take way from install. I know what “C” in c-clamp means. The pin/punch out replacement can be frustrating. When a KZbinr says remove this...some times more falls off and you have to go to the dealership to get a support bolted down correctly. You also get to meet new people. Like the mechanic at the dealership that tunes and has a side gig. Plus, it was going to cost $59 for diagnosing, but said new friend waved it off. Thanks!

There is a silver plastic Piece on top of the reverse lockout that you grab and that comes loose sometimes. If that’s the case just grab some super glue and put it under neath to hold it snug and that should do the job

@BeeAboveAverage4 жыл бұрын
I have had the kartboy before and I loved it and had no issues or complaints. Whilst I’ve had friends with the Cobb one that had other experiences. And after switching they said it was the best choice they made. You will never catch your self re adjusting the shifter after the first time anyway. With Cobb you have more moving parts that can rattle or brake or loosen up over time, but with Kartboy it’s a solid shifter. Hope that helps👍🏼
