I have a couple questions if someone(s) could possibly take the time to answer. Thanks
1) Is $70 a fair/good price to get my short shifter installed. To answer the question before hand, I dont have time to do it myself with school and sports. But I looked around and thats the cheapest I found. They said it would take no longer than an hour and if it took less, I would be charged less, obviously, seemed like a good deal. The most expensive I found was 200 at 2/hours.
2) For any one with or has had an air/fuel gauge...Is the gauge suppose to just sweep back and forth the entire time I am driving? It stays in green when I got WOT and start to get higher into the RPM's, but just driving around, it goes from lean to rich, back and forth really quick. Is this right or did the shop do something wrong? Sorry, never had one before so I wouldn't know.

 

1) Doing it yourself would be faster than having it done. You could do it in under an hour and you wouldn't have to drive to/from a shop.

If you're dead set on having someone else do it, have a friend read the how-to then do it for you for a twelve pack of beer or something. I don't think the job is worth more than $20-$30, it's just not hard to do.

 

I really want to do it myself, but really have no time with school, homework and sports. And if I was old enough to buy a twelve pack, I would do that too

 

Fair enough. I think your best bet is to find a friend who is mechanically inclined and pay him/her $20 to do it for you.

 

Part of modding a car is learning about your car I say take some time on a saturday to install it yourself.

 

cant when I work 7am-10pm every sat. and sunday, this is the problem, I literally have no free time, I am doing homework as we speak

 

Your car should come before everything in your life.


7 AM to 10PM? What in the hell are you a slave?

 

nope, but @ 10/hour am i going to bithc, nope

 

damn dude....give me a job where you work

 

lol i know, everyone wants my job. When I was in high school(wow, 2 years seems like a long time, lol) I got all my buddies jobs.
Bump for question #2 also

 

10 an hour? Hell yeah id bit*h, but im 23 with my own place, and all of the bills that go along with it, hell 23 an hour barely cuts it (sorry for off topic).

I woud definitely go with wat otter said and have a mechanically inclined friend do it, it really isnt hard from what i have heard from at least a thousand other people

 

i am 19 with my own place too, pays bills just fine

 

Make sure whoever installs your short shifter that they know they'll need the upper pivot socket or else they'll chop your stock shifter!

 

is that the piece you can buy from lancer shop? if so, I dont need it and was just going to have them but the stock shifter. I am taking it to a transmission place on monday if I do it that way

 

Sounds like you don't even have enough time to enjoy your car. What do you need a short shifter for? LOL
