In front of the battery and a few inches to the left. Look for a linkage with a black rubber boot ending with a round bushing with a silver codder pin through it. Just remove the codder pin, pull the shifter linkage up, place the quick shift piece on the metal cylinder, place the linkage on top of the quick shift piece and replace the codder pin. :)

Thanks pal, appreciate it,

now for another, if I get the NST SSK, will it reduce my throw even more??

m911gt · 11-30-2008, 10:17 PM

Not a problem man, wait wait...the TRD quick shift kit that you bought is for the engine bay, right? If so, that's the same piece as the NST SSK I. If you want another ~30% reduction, an NST SSK II would be a great addition for a sportier feel. The NST SSK II goes on the base of the actual stick...this one's a little more work to install but definitely worth the effort.

Stargate YARlantIS · 11-30-2008, 10:19 PM

yeah yeah, in the engine bay, as far as the NST one, I meant the one in the stick lol

m911gt · 11-30-2008, 10:23 PM

oh! haha, good we are on the same page. Yes!!! If you would like an even shorter throw, pick up an NST SSK II! :) Very awesome mod. Lately I've been thinking about getting a TWM short shifter as well...but I've already got the NST SSK I and II as well as a (custom) shortened shifter...I don't want to get too carried away. haha

Stargate YARlantIS · 11-30-2008, 10:41 PM

Just a thought.....I wonder if I removed the stock stick, cut the stick by about 2 inches and re-thread it, could that be considered "reducing the throw?" lol

m911gt · 11-30-2008, 10:43 PM

well...that's exactly what I did! It won't reduce the throw at all, but it looks nicer and feels like a better vertical position imo. You don't even have to re-thread anything because you could cut a chunk out of "the middle" and weld it back together.

Stargate YARlantIS · 11-30-2008, 10:43 PM

don't know of anyone w/ a welding machine

m911gt · 11-30-2008, 10:49 PM

hmmm, I'll be in St. Pete's in a month, I could bring one down? lol...ok, the flight probably wouldn't allow that as a carry-on item. If you want a shorter stick with a reduced throw, you could go for a TWM short throw shifter...I'm not 100% sure they work with the NST SSK II.

Stargate YARlantIS · 11-30-2008, 11:03 PM

that would be sick if you could bring it as a carry-on haha!

Stargate YARlantIS · 11-30-2008, 11:03 PM

St. Pete in a month?? We should do a FL YW meet welcoming gimmick! lol

m911gt · 11-30-2008, 11:07 PM

hah, definitely. yeah, I'll be there with my family visiting grandparents for eight days. well, four or five days in St. Pete's and about four days in Sebring.

m911gt · 11-30-2008, 11:18 PM

Ha, but if you do need any stock parts I can bring some along :)

Stargate YARlantIS · 11-30-2008, 11:37 PM

I can't think of any that I would need, what do you have lyin around?

m911gt · 11-30-2008, 11:41 PM

One item I wouldn't be able to bring but want to get rid of is the 60 section of my rear seat. Also, I'd like to sell my stock tail lights (used for 3 weeks, perfect condition), my Simota Carbon cold air intake, a rear Netz emblem, and stock badges.

Stargate YARlantIS · 11-30-2008, 11:43 PM

I just might be interested in the rear netz emblem, I'm good on the CAI, Fujita F5, and as far as tails...I just got some TYC's and smoked 'em.

m911gt · 11-30-2008, 11:46 PM

cool. well, let me know in the next couple weeks if you'd like the emblem. are you going to be home around Christmas? I'll be arriving in St. Pete's on the 19th.
