  • Short throw shifter. In this video I show you how a short shifter works and how to install one in your car. I also compare the difference between a stock shifter and an aftermarket short throw shifter so you can see the drastic improvement in the DriftStang!

    *This exact procedure works on 1982-2004 Mustangs with a T5 or T45 manual transmission. The process is similar on most other manual cars.

    I've been building race cars,"street" cars,lowriders,trucks,bikes..you name it for over 20yrs and I gotta say,for all those supposed diy car channels yours is by far the best for guys and girls who are just starting out. From your detailing tips to stuff like this shifter install you make it easy for ppl to understand what to do and not do and you don't throw out all kinds of wrong advice. I hope you go more in depth with the aftermarket in the future. Keep up the good work Chris,great job so far!.

Mostly mustangs are considered street cars not too quick 0 mph to 60 mph but they got torque, which torque is how hard you take off and the pull you get. If you want to learn more i suggest you play video games and you'll learn a lot or watch reviews on doge hellcats, doge demon, doge charger, doge challenger, chevy camaros, mustangs gt 500, mustang gt, mustang cobra etc theres a lot man.

      I throw out torque specs and service manuals. I just "feel" them out. Crank those head bolts til they barely slip, then back them off a tad. No tightening sequence needed, the oil leftover in the thread holes balances the bolts out.

    • @alexm2623
      @alexm2623 Před 7 lety +3

      The only things where it's really critical to get the torque right is internal engine/tranny bolts, wheel bearings, and lugs. Not getting those right can cause premature wear or problems down the line. After doing it awhile, you get a feel for lugs and axles, but even the most professional techs I know torque stuff in the block unless they do rebuilds for a living and have the feel down.

  • @sebastiannielsen
    @sebastiannielsen Před 3 lety +7

    Another thing to consider when installing a short throw shifter, is that you need to make sure the force to switch gears aren't great, because with a short throw shifter, you get less leverage, and if the gearbox is of a "stiff" type with a strong detent, it can be too difficult to get it into and out of gear. I don't know if the detent in gearboxes are adjustable, but that could be a video you could host - "How to adjust your manual gearbox".
