Hard shifts after Short shifter install

[juicedz]

I just installed a short shifter on my 95 coupe. Went to take a test drive and the 2-3 shift is a pita. I didnt replace the bushings yet they should be here this week hopefully. Is this normal or is there any kind of adjustment that can be made. Kind of reminds me of driving the dump truck. I have to make sure the shifter is centered before going into 3rd. Sorry about this question I had a 01 cavalier Z24 and put a short shifter in and that was the sweat shift. Thanks in advance......

IMO that was a bad investment. Shoulda keep the stock shifter.

you might have tightened the bolt up to much....
i have a short shifter... and thats what i did initially.. couldnt shift at all lol
and for the rcord
short shifters dont make your transmission grind, not knowing how to shift makes it grind... just ask transzex

Yup, the Fastline shifter is the only one worth getting. Will def. be getting one over the winter. With a race seat and 4" spacer on the wheel, even the stock shifter is a PITA to reach and shift in my car.

Thanks for the info. Looks like ill check the bolt before I put the stock one back in. It on only does it on that one shift. Could just be me. Thanks all..
