I posted a thread asking about the tri ax shifter. someone said they are great. they also said something about not using the Bolts on the shifter when installing , or something like that , because it will bend the fork !!!?
can anyone please tell me what this is about.
When installed on any transmission, incorrect stop settings can harm it. The TR-3650, installed in 01 1/2 - now, have built in stops, but I use the shifter stops anyway. Just be sure you:
1. Allow enough space so it acts as a stop to prevent overshifting, but not to prevent you from fully engaging the gears.
2. Tighten them sufficiently so you don't have to worry about them loosening. I'm almost certain they have locking nuts, so this really isn't much of an issue.
Periodically visually checking the shifter is not a bad idea. Personally I think this business about NOT using the stops is silly. Adjust them properly and you won't have any problem. It ain't rocket science.
i didnt on mine and had no issue... installed a tri ax on a friends and used some gasket compount around the outside as he was paranoid... so far no issue as far as i can tell... over 60k on the car.
You can use "Right Stuff" gasket maker from 3m. I used it which I changed shifters and no leaks. It's identical to the OEM material and is easy to apply. There's also this gasket to consider: http://www.mach1registry.org/forums/showthread.php?t=22407 I would have used it had I known about it when I changed shifters.
