Below you will find tips on how to install your new Hybrid Racing K Swap Bolt-In Short Shifter.*This shiftermay not be legal for highway use. Hybrid Racing is not responsible for any direct or indirect, actual or inci-dental expense attributed to the use of any performance parts sold by Hybrid Racing LLC. Purchasers agree to all of the terms of this agreement upon the purchase of parts. More information can be found at www.hybrid-racing.com.
Important:
The Hybrid Racing K Swap Bolt-In Short Shifter is capable of being adjusted to a throw muchshorter than that of most production vehicles. For this reason, adjusting it to the shortest throwsettings initially may cause a driver who is not experienced with such a short shift throw toaccidentally “misshift”. Misshifts can potentially result in transmission or engine damage. For thisreason, Hybrid Racing strongly recommends that all users drive with the shifter set to its longest  throw settings until they are more comfortable with the shifter. It should be noted that even at its longest throw, Hybrid Racing’s shifter will still have a noticeably shorter throw than a stock K-series shifter, and even most aftermarket k series short shifters.Also, the shifter features several adjustments to position the knob in the most comfortableposition. Hybrid Racing recommends that when initially mounting the black anodized offset block (this has the “hr” logo machined into it), the user positions it so that it is at the 6 0’clock position(i.e. such that it’s pointing towards the rear of the vehicle. This will cause the shifter to feel morelike a traditional, non-adjustable shifter. Once you have acclimated to the unique feel of theshifter, then you can feel free to position it in whatever manner best suits your ergonomics.
 
 
Section 1: Drilling the bolt holes
(note: if a Karcepts shifter adapter plate was previously installed in your vehicle, no holes need to be drilled. The Hybrid Racing shifter willbolt up to the same 4 holes that were used by the Karcepts shifter adapter plate.)
Step 1a
U
nscrew the 4 M5 dust cover bolts (indicated by the white arrows in figure1.a1) using a 3mm allen wrench, and remove the aluminum debris shield.Figure 1.a2 shows the underside of the shifter after the dust shield has beenremoved.
Step 1b
Place the shifter in the center tunnel from under car, and install 2 of theincluded M8 mounting bolts that go through the 2 rear holes in the shifterand into your chassis’ stock shifter mounting holes. The M8 bolts require a6mm allen wrench. Torque until the shifter is flush with the chassis.
Step 1c
Locate the two front mounting holes for the shifter, and use a marker tomark the centers of the holes on the chassis. It may be necessary to use ametallic gel-type permanent marker or even chalk if you have dark paint or thecenter tunnel is dirty.
Install Guide:
Installing this shifter is pretty straight forward. The guide below covers virtually every stepinvolved in installing the shifter.
 
 
Step 1d
Unbolt and remove the shifter from the chassis
Step 1e
Drill two holes in the center tunnel (Drill a 1/8” pilot hole, then open theholes up with a 3/8” bit).
Section 2: Installing the ShifterStep 2a
Because of clearance issues in the center tunnel, if OEM shifter cables arebeing used, they must be installed before the shifter is mounted to thechassis. (If Hybrid Racing Shifter Cables are being used, they can be installedbefore or after the shifter is mounted to the chassis
i.
The front/back cable should be installed with the spring clip insertedfrom the bottom.
ii.
For OEM cables, the left/right cable should be installed with the tabpointing down and then rotated 45 degrees (as illustrated in figures2.a1 and 2.a2). For Hybrid Racing cables, install the left/right cablein the same manner the front/back cable was installed.
Step 2b
Before bolting the shifter to the chassis, the rubber seal that is included with the shifter should be placed on top of it. This rubber acts as a seal between the chassis and the shifter, preventing hot air, debris, moisture and excessiveroad noise from entering the cabin. Align the rubber on the top of the shifterso the four holes in it lineup with the four mounting holes on the shifter
