INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 

1) 

Raise the vehicle.  Use ramps or a jack and jack stands. NEVER work under a vehicle that is supported by the jack. 

2) 

Remove the stock shift knob from inside the vehicle by twisting it counterclockwise.    

3) 

Underneath the car, remove the bolt that attaches the shifter to the shift rod.  Move the shift rod out of the way. 

4) 

Remove the two locknuts and the shift ball holder  plate.  Pull the stock shifter out taking care to not damage the 

shift boot inside the car. 

5) 

Inspect the shifter ball seat (plastic piece) and replace if worn or damaged.   

6) 

Rub a small amount of white lithium or synthetic grease around the ball of the JG Edelbrock shifter.  Guide the 

shifter up into the assembly.  Before pushing it all the way in, guide the threaded end through the shifter boot from 

inside the vehicle.  Make sure that the shifter bend is pointed towards the driver. 

7) 

For Integra’s, use the long  (45.5 mm) pin and the 

thick and thin aluminum spacers for side 

clearance.  Lubricate the distance pin with white 

lithium or synthetic grease. 

9) 

Re-install bolt and locking nut  – torque to  

16 ft-lbs. 

8)   For Civics, use the short (30.5mm) distance  pin with 

the washers for side spacers.  Lubricate the pin with 

white lithium or synthetic grease.
