- Hey what's up everyone welcome back to the channel! In this video I install the WK Motorsport shortshifter kit and wow the difference is insane! I bought the shortshifter kit off WK Motorsports facebook page for a little less than $500 and I think this install was about a mid/moderate level of difficulty. This modification is definitely a must do if you drive a manual or stick car. Hope you guys have fun watching this weeks video. Thanks for watching and I will see you guys in the next video, later!

Wow looks nice!!!
Thank you!
Almost went with this set up but last minute I changed my mind and went with the IRP short shifter. Id say definitely keep the shift boot. 👍🏽
What would you say is the difference between the two? Yea I was running bootless and I just can't seem to like the bootless look with the white outline haha
@@JeffSongCars you can remove the white/chrome border. Just checked on mine today. To answer your Q. I’d say maybe sturdiness and adjustable. IRP is aluminum and you’re able to change the % of the throw.
@@HavocPigdey Definitely going to reinstall the shift boot haha. Wow didn't even know that there were other options for the short shifter, the one you mentioned seems a lot better!
LOVE YOUR VIDSS.. 100K SUBS SOON!
Thank you for the support!😄👍
Awesome video
Thank you! 😁👍🏼
Looking like a kid on Christmas
Will be getting one soon ordering right now actually
You definitely won't regret doing this mod. It makes the car feel so much better 👍😁
@@JeffSongCars awesome will be using your video as a guide to install it. Have the ssl so might have to take off the center console
I love my WK shifter. I recommend you get the AMS shifter bushings.
Do the AMS shifter bushings make the feel of the shifts better?
@@JeffSongCars I installed the shifter bushings and the WK shifter at the same time. The engagement is much better (feels solid) compared to the stock rubber bushings.
Hmmm that sounds like a good idea haha I'll see if I can fit it in sometime in a future video 👍
Thanks for the video! Did you have to cut that black clip left over from the original shifter housing to remove?
Yea its a zip tie that keeps the shift boot in place, you can use a medium sized zip tie to keep the shift boot in place 👍
@@JeffSongCars Got it cool, Thanks! What year is your EvoX? Watching a few shifter installs, seems some people are having trouble with front clips on the shifter housing requiring removal of the dash.
My Evo is a 2013, yea the clips take a bit of work. You have to use a bit of force but make sure not to break it hahah. Are you going to do the shifter upgrade?
@@JeffSongCars Ha got it! Most of the vids that go over it make it seem easy, albeit a couple. I actually picked up an IRP shifter. Excited to swap it out. Your video is super helpful for the prep.
Awesome! I'm glad to be of help! Let me know how the installation goes and how the IRP feels 👍
Hey does the factory evo shift knob screw on this shifter kit ? I haven’t seen any pictures of how it looks like
Yea it does fit I tried it too because I was curious haha 👍🏼 the pitch should be the same for the threads
@@JeffSongCars thanks for the feedback !
They make an evo x shift boot delete in carbon fiber. It’s made by panem. I have the same wk short shifter. Let me know if you need a pic of it with the shift boot delete
I just filmed my next video! hahaha I ended up putting the shift boot back on. It isnt the stock shift boot but like a pleather shift boot that I had on from before. The white outline put me off of the bootless look but if that carbon fiber piece looks good I might change it over to that!
Was there a direct message to WK motorsports? I left a post on their Facebook page, no response. Just want to make sure I'm getting ahold of them the proper way would like that shifter, and nice vid Jeff.
This is the page that I used to message them directly, facebook.com/wkmotorsportlc/
I hope that helps because I love how this shifter feels. Their reply times may be a bit weird because they're located in Hong Kong. Thank you for the support 😁👍 Let me know if they contact back and you're able to place your order!
@@JeffSongCars Thanks man, I just sent them a message.
@@pimpc442 awesome! 👍
@@JeffSongCars I got in touch with them and ordered one. If you do PayPal friends and family($4 dollar fee ) you get an extra shift knob. I went with the silver weighted knob(+35 USD). Thanks for the link!
Hahaha awesome! I'm glad you got to order it and I really don't think you'll regret it 😁👍I didn't even know about the weighted silver shiftknob haha
Do you have their contact info?
I’ve just seen a Facebook page but didn’t have email or site to order. Where and how did you order the shifter ?
facebook.com/wkmotorsportlc/
That should be their page, It's the one that I used to order it 👍. You message them on that facebook page and someone should reply pretty quickly. You give them car model and location with country and post code. Hopefully that helps! 😁
Hello I was wondering how long it took for delivery once ordered? I’m in the process of ordering one
I believe the whole process took about 2-3 weeks to buy it from the vendor off Facebook👍🏼
Oh ok good to know I have already provided my info like they requested I’m just waiting on them now lol
Yea they’re pretty quick it’s just it’s shipping from overseas. This is definitely one of my favorite upgrades 😁👍🏼
