DDMWorks Slingshot Short Throw Shifter Installation Manual

Slingshot Short Throw Shifter

This short throw shifter kit for the Slingshot
reduces the amount of forward and side to
side movement that is required to shift the
transmission into gears.

Installation time of the short throw shifter
depends on you and your mechanical skills. It
is suggested that you read through the
directions a few times to familiarize yourself
with the components of the kit, and your car.
If you are pretty handy with tools the shifter
can be installed in 30 minutes, however we
suggest that you schedule at least a couple of

hours for the installation.
If you have any questions during the installation you can call us at [phone] or
email us at [e-mail].

Removing the Stock Shifter Mechanism

1. Make sure your Slingshot is in neutral and the parking
brake is on before starting installation.

2. The first step is to pull on the outer edge of the shift boot, in
order to gain access underneath it. To do this pull up and to­wards the shifter to pull the boot up and off the plastic trim.

3. With the shift boot lifted up, the shift knob assembly needs to
be removed from the car. The shifter comes off of the stock
shifter mechanism by loosening one 5mm set screw at the
base of the shifter. Loosen that bolt until you can pull and lift
the shifter off of the stock mechanism.

4. With the upper part of the shifter off you can see a smaller
rubber boot that is around the stock shifter mechanism.
Reach in and with your finger start to pull it up. Once this
smaller rubber boot is pulled out it will expose 4 10mm head
bolts that hold the stock shifter mechanism in place. Using a
socket and extension, remove those 4 bolts.

5. With the 4 bolts removed, lift up the metal cap that was directly
underneath them and set it aside, it will be reused.

6. Now you can pull up on the stock shifter mechanism and it will
pull out of the car. Be careful since it will be covered with
grease and you will want to have some paper towels around to
set it on.

Pull around the edge
of the shift boot.

Loosen this bolt to get the stock shifter off

After removing the stock shifter mechanism, your car should
look like this, and it is time to start installing the new parts.
