hi how can guys tell if donor car has short shifter over oem? the one in the donor car has a similar one from dieselgeek not sure if oem looks different
yeah mine has the big aluminum arm. is there a way to modify to do my swap or do I need to get the short shifter?If it's the dieselgeek one, it will look like this (Sigma5):
Billet and shiny. Your stock one will be a cast aluminum arm. They are very obviously different.
I've read that it may affect the power steering line on an 03 alhI've never had issue with the stock shifter. Your results may vary.
How can that be? The PS line is not near enough to even be a problem.I've read that it may affect the power steering line on an 03 alh
it was on the kill the auto wabbit thread, but I think he was referring to an early alh. my badHow can that be? The PS line is not near enough to even be a problem.
I read the post wrong (kill the auto wabbit thread) lol my bad I guess early alh differsNot really sure what your asking. The linkage is the only thing that gets changed/swapped for the short shifter. The physical shifter inside the car stays the same.
The one listed in the kill da wabbit thread is the AUTO style power steering line is mounted high, and can interfere with the shift linkage, however it can be manipulated so it's out of the way. I've manual swapped four cars and left the automatic style ps line in, no issues. The manual ps line is routed lower.it was on the kill the auto wabbit thread, but I think he was referring to an early alh. my bad
