Bravo How to Fit a Short Shifter

Once this was off it is just a matter of slotting your short shifter over the "bolt" left sticking up from where you had taken the weight off (which is no longer needed as the short shift has one built in) and push the existing ball joint up into the hole in the middle of the short shifter.

I found in this step it may need a little persuasion to press into place. Using a hammer and the long extension, I hammered it down properly. It is important that this ball joint seats correctly, because if it slips off you will not be able to select gears properly. The should be a little black screw on the side of the short shift which you will need an allen key to tighten up. Doing so will lock the ball joint into place. In the picture below you can see the screw almost all the way out.



It is then a case of popping the original linkage to the new ball joint (which was very easy compared to getting the old one off) and then putting the 13mm nut back on where the weight used to be and you should be all done!
