I installed my TWM STS today and my shifter is soooo loose and I can't find gears easy at all, i feel no difference... please tell me why my shifter is loose and how to adjust the gears to fix this. I have searched and read the threads that are shown but they arent helping me much.

 

Did you put the plastic sleeve the on ball thing?

 

yepp

 

how is it loose?

 

what do you mean by how? i dnno how, its just loose when its in gear i can move it all over

 

On the large main ball?

 

yes its on there...it is assembled correctly i did step by step instructions and i know how to work on my car and this isnt the first STS i've put in a car but this is sooo weird...im mechanically inclined but when it comes to diagnosing forget it

 

Did you install the bushings? Or tighten the bolt all the way down? Why don't you pull the boot off and look?

 

Did you put the clips for the trans cable right?

 

Pic of shifter with cover off?

 

yes i put everything in how its supposed to and and which bolt are you referring to? im not talking about the assembly im talking about the shifter. yes i put all the cables right. this is why it doesnt make any sense what so ever

 

Plastic cup on small ball on the side?

 

Make a video?

 

dont have a way to make video...and yes the little cup is on there...

 

pic?

Are the cables snapped into the shifter frame?

 

maybe tomorrow, i gotta go work at my buddys shop and ill see if he can fix it first

yes theyre snapped in the shifter assembly

 

Sorry the nuts that tighten down on top of the bushings. There are 4 of them. One on every corner of the whole assembly.

 

The pin in the side lever thing?

 

yes...i have no extra parts or anything lol...cmon now im not stupid lol

 

were exactly in florida are you, the only thing i can think of is the shifter cable maybe their loose and you haven't pushed them back.

 

from miami i am about 2 1/2 hours

 

It's sometimes easy to miss something and I don't have much to go on. Not saying your stupid but it sounds like you missed something.

 

well my stock shifter was really loose as well...how do i adjust the cables? maybe theyre just loose and not puttin enough pressure on the shifter

 

damm, the only thing i can say is check the shifter cables

move the little white and gray rectangular shaped plastics covers over the cable forward and back till they feel right

 

they just slide?
