DIY: Short Shifter Install
Learn how to install a short shifter in this video. Even though I did this on my 240sx, its pretty much the same principle for most rear wheel drive cars.
A short throw shifter gives you less space between shifts, which means quicker shifts. Its an inexpensive mod that will give your car a whole new feel.
I used an ISIS shifter from Enjukuracing.com

Colt 5-speed Shifter Install
This thing was an automatic. Not anymore. Now that the transmission is lined up after the crossmember install, I'm able to test fit the shifter and bolt everything down where I need it.
The only difficult thing about this job is a minor bit of fabrication for a lower shifter cable bracket for the transmission. The DSM shifter bracket is a 2-piece design, and there are variations of both parts. ALL of the cable alignment capability is tied up in that shifter bracket, so getting the cable locations right is critical to having good shifter actuation. It's possible there's a combination of factory parts that resolves all cable alignment issues and prevents fabrication work, but I don't know what to use, and my solution worked every bit as good with very little effort. It was a simple job. If you've never converted an automatic car to manual, this will shed some light on how easy this is to do once you have the dashboard and heater controls out.
I used a shifter and cables out of a '92 GSX for this project coupled with the forward/reverse shift linkage from a '90 FWD. The shift linkage on the transmission side didn't have to be from a '90, the '92 parts were damaged too badly to use so I had to mix & match. The parts were the same, so it didn't matter. It just makes for some weirdness in the video if someone's scrutinizing my part selection.
