Evolution X Paddle Shifter install on Evolution 7 GTA
Evolution X Paddle Shifter install on Evolution 7 GTA by Mashack Biroo
To all the Evo 7 GTA owners it is possible to install the Evo X/Lancer Ralliart/ Lancer GT/ Outlander GT (part# 2401A004) paddle shifters to our steering columns. The entire process is very simple which makes me wonder why this mod isn't done by all GTA owners. The hardest part in my opinion is cutting the steering column cover to fit the assembly. I believe this write up is detailed enough that anyone should be able to do it without any trouble. I'm fine with sharing just give credit when posting on other forums and reference the to this post. Parts & Tools needed • Paddle Shifter Assembly (part# 2401A004) • 3 lengths of wire (Blue, Green & Yellow) enough to reach gear lever • Electrical tape or wire splices or solder & heatshrink • Phillips screwdriver • 10mm socket with extension • 2 fairly long screws • Flat end screwdriver or trim removal tool Step 1 Remove Steering wheel * Please note I will not show this process because I really didn't see any reason to remove my wheel just to take some pics. Please follow all guidelines for removing a steering wheel. I also recommend disconnecting the battery until needed. Step 2 Remove lower dash which is held with (2) Phillips screws and lastly (1) 10mm bolt after you remove the fuse box cover. https://imageshack.com/i/p1uvicRWj https://imageshack.com/i/hlYIkv3Gj https://imageshack.com/i/kqVDgbXSj Step 3 Remove the steering column cover but removing (3) Phillips screws beneath the bottom portion and pulling down the tilt adjust lever. https://imageshack.com/i/iqnKv0vKj Step 4 Install Paddle Shifter assembly by screwing it directly into the white plastic of the indicator and wiper stalks using the (2) holes at the top of the assembly. https://imageshack.com/i/iqehUws3j https://imageshack.com/i/kpg7akWLj The top should be firmly secured but the bottom part will be loose, trust me when you place the steering column cover back on it there will be no more movement. It should look something like this minus the Steering wheel https://imageshack.com/i/f0qNhQ6Cj https://imageshack.com/i/f0OHBkG7j Step 5 Now we are ready to start the wiring, there are (3) wires namely green, blue and yellow which we now have to connect to the gear lever assembly to make the paddles work. https://imageshack.com/i/idBXVa07j You can either cut off the connector like I did or spice into the (3) wires, basically we're just lengthening the wires. I really recommend you solder and apply heatshrink if you're going to cut off the connector like I did. Please don't follow my ghetto method -_- https://imageshack.com/i/kpiNnd2kj Just leave your wires for now, we have more trim to remove Step 6 Removing the center console Start by removing the cigarette lighter and ashtray/coin tray to gain access to our first screw and light. To remove light just twist and push when it lines up with the notches. https://imageshack.com/i/p4aHOcaNj Next step is to remove the blue trimming. It is held on by tabs all around, use either a trim removal tool or flat head screw driver wrapped in cloth (to prevent damage) https://imageshack.com/i/iqtsvp4dj Place your gear lever in D and don't forget to disconnect the (2) wires for the cigarette lighter and twist out the 2nd light. It should look something like this. https://imageshack.com/i/idD3CR2Bj Next step is to remove the plastic push clip near the driver foot well, just push in the center and pop it out using flat head screw driver/trim tool. https://imageshack.com/i/f0OSMgkuj Our second part of the console is held on (3) 10mm bolts in the cubby under the armrest and (2) clips towards the front just after the gear lever. https://imageshack.com/i/ipDEa6nAj Raise the back up at angle and with little coaxing with your other hand the front should pop off. Continue raising vertically to clear handbrake lever. After this has been removed you will see the last (2) Phillips screws hold the front portion. https://imageshack.com/i/ip8gIxlqj Step 7 With everything out of the way you will finally have access to the connector for the gear lever on the passenger side. I recommend you free it from the metal frame to give you more working room. The connector has a total (6) wires, we will be splicing into only (3), the red, white and yellow on the right side. Route your extension wires from the paddle shifter through the dash and center console to reach this area. Splice the Green with the Red, the Blue with the White and Yellow with the Yellow as shown in the picture. https://imageshack.com/i/exnAtPl9j To test switch on the vehicle, shift to manual mode and upshift & downshift with paddle. This configuration allows you to shift using the gear lever, steering controls and your newly installed paddle shifter!! * Please note I only tested mine after the steering was back on and connected so I'm not entirely sure if the paddles will work without its controls connected. Final step Reassembly I would start with the placing steering wheel back on as per normal procedure then reinstall the center console by just doing the removal steps in reverse. As I mentioned earlier you will have to cut and modify your bottom half of you steering column cover to clear the assembly. https://imageshack.com/i/p1KsrUfCj Please measure as much as possible before cutting to prevent a massacre as in my case.:cry::frust: The two screws in the bottom piece by the lever will secure the Paddle assembly and there will be virtually no movement when tightened. https://imageshack.com/i/ipICgZN3j After you have installed the modified cover, you can continue to install the lower dash that was removed. Pics of finished install https://imageshack.com/i/p1S4VlTvj https://imageshack.com/i/eymr606Mj https://imageshack.com/i/f0I9sa2Oj https://imageshack.com/i/p3f2RzsVj |
