Not sure of the make as I bought is used. Can I adjust them without the tool and if so what is the magic to it?
Here's the description of the short shifter I purchased: 03 Porsche Boxster 986 #1284 Shifter, Manual 5 SPD Short Shift Kit OEM 996424010  |
Put the transmission in neutral ...Mount the shifter.... Hold shifter in the neutral position.
Adjust cables to fit the shifter attachment points... attach cables.
All an installation tool does is holds the shifter in the neutral position.
