dealer keep killing my shifter....WTF

[TRD StreetRacing]

every time i'v gone to the dealer since i put my twm s.s......they keep poping out my whole shifter housing one side......does anyone have this problem??? if so how do u fix it?? cuz if u apply real force to it.....it pops out from one side.......for the past 2-3 times i have to take 5min to take the plastic around the shifter to pop it back in after i get it back from the dealer:bang: .....i wonder what they do to my car when i'm not looking:ugh:

[Chris25NJ]

are you talking about the shift boot? i've never had any problems with mine.

[TRD StreetRacing]

not the boot.....the plastic shifter housing under every thing.....the plastic thing that keeps the shifter in place....not too sure what's it called

Umm didn 't you use the screws it came with to screw it into the console??? If it is tight enough it shouldn't move..

i did use the screws and i did tighten it......it's just that, the screwz comes through the rubber piece on the housing.....u kinda have to look at the housing to know what's i'm talking about.....the screws go right trough it

I feel for you, I have an auto, but everytime I see them driving the car up, they drive like a maniac through the parking lot. :ugh:

aren't there washers that keep the screws from going through ??

[Chris25NJ]

yeah you should have gotten washers and longer screws....just make sure they are real tight, but don't overtighten or they will strip. try some thread-lock

[TRD StreetRacing]

hmmmmmmmmm......i think i know what i did wrong......i put the washes under the housing, where the screws go into the floor not between the screws and the houseing......ma bad:rolleyes:....thanx for a lil insight 1zz-fe ce|ica :thumbup: & Chris25NJ :applaud:

by the way chris....sup w/ the whole "team split second" thing??? is it a jersey thing?? and how come when i click on the link....it says "ur not authorized"?? is it a whole fast & furious type thing.....J/K.....i'm nosy...i wannna know.....and it was a joke about the whole f&f thing

[Chris25NJ]

Surprised you haven't heard about it. Yeah, it's actually a club. Similiar to DCM7thgen, but for us tristate people. Blue Bomber and nate22 are heading it up, get in touch with one of them if you are interested. The link should work, just worked for me. it's www.drive.to/SplitSecond ,actually it's just a shortcut to our temporary home which is the Split Second forum on www.everythingcelica.com .

Uhm, you shouldnt have had to mess with the plastic housing for a TWM SS. I got the bushing set aswell for mine and still didnt have to move the plastic housing your talkin about. Maybe your missing a bolt to hold it down to the flloor? idk ive never heared of this

This could be a new record.... 6 1/2 year bump
