scans007 Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 I know this has been talked about......just finished installing my Cobb Double Adjustable STS and never really found step by step instructions on how to do so. So I took the liberty of creating some easy to follow instructions, hope they help http://www.pimpmyauto.com/sts.htm If you have any questions feel free to ask away as I had to hit Liquidq up for some hints.......THANX FOR THE HELP MAN...... Enjoy and I hope this will help everyone out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alpinefun Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 Excellent. Thank you very much. I am planning this installation soon. How do you like shifting now vs stock? Is it more notchy now? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpinefun Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 One more question. How short did you make the lower end? I think to adjust it equal to STI SS. Do you know that dimension? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scans007 Posted January 6, 2005 Author Share Posted January 6, 2005 I LOVE the shifting, it's not 1/2 as rough as I expected it to be. (compared to other cars and STS's) I lowered it all the way and then up three spins...it's awesome. The top part I have at the lowest setting too. Not gonna play with that until my new shift knob comes, but it's a TAD to low for me right now. I don't know the dem. of the STI SS so I can't say...sorry... I say again, shifting is AWESOME compared to stock, if you've had a short throw you will love this. And if you haven't you still will love it....and with the double adjustable you can get it just the way you love it =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

axis008 Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 Cool! I plan to get one of those in the future. Can you explain briefly how to adjust the height of the throw? -ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scans007 Posted January 7, 2005 Author Share Posted January 7, 2005 Cool! I plan to get one of those in the future. Can you explain briefly how to adjust the height of the throw? It's wicked easy...there are just two nuts, one on the top part of the shifter that will determine the hight of it, and there is one at the base of the shiter that will determine how short the throw will be. All you do is spin these 'nuts' to the desired location and tighten everything down......REAL SIMPLE....real easy..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidiq Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 Be careful not to make the throw too short, as you could be able to shift faster than the syncro's can react I really like mine though, got the height a bit lower than stock, but the throw much shorter. That way it's easier to shift (because of the leverage) but it's quick shifting because of the throw. Nice combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice combo.Took me two adjustments, 1st was a lil to low and a lil rough, now i've got it smooth as Butter.......I think I was too short.... (don't tell the ladies ) So he's right......start high and move lower prob safer for the syncro's... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KTM 525 Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 I just finished the install and the directions on that link were perfect. The job was simple and I took my time and still did it in 30 minutes. Thanks!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-2.5-GT Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 its not caught up on the metal plate in the top left corner is it? Some of the installs will suggest either cutting that piece or turning it around. I have the kartboy one with no issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subastyle Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 No it doesnt seem to be hiting? You know the part that bolts to the arm?? well there is not a bearing that goes through thereso the is so much play what do i do?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G.T.Subie Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 plus reuse the old bearing if i am thinking of the same thing. Denial is your best friend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scans007 Posted July 18, 2006 Author Share Posted July 18, 2006 YES, that's something I might've forget, you need to push the metal outta the stock one, take a flat head, pop out the two plastic sides. Then Put the plastic sides on the cobb and slide the metal bearing throught. That should fix you right up. Also with this shifter, the TALLER the bottom part is, the shorter the throw.....it goes against what you would think. If it's so low on the bottom, you can't get into 2nd cuz it's hitting the center console peice. So raise that thing up. and lower the top peice...... Oh and don't over tighten the screws....just use an alan wrench, they've been known to strip on occasion..... Good luck....glad you got the hard part (snap ring) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
