TWM Performance Short Shift Kit 2003 and up Mazda 6 Installation Manual
Installation of this product requires the stock shifter to be cut, and re-installation of the stock shifter requires welding. It’s preferable to park on a flat surface, as you will have to engage and disengage the hand brake and shift from gears to neutral. If you can’t do so and are obliged to install the short shifter on a slightly inclined surface, place wooden blocks in front or behind the wheels to prevent the car from moving while you’re working.
Tools required:
- Flat screw driver (small and large)
- Philips head screw driver
- Flash light
- Needle nose
- 10 mm socket and 10 mm wrench
- 12 mm deep socket
- All purpose grease
- Hack saw
- 5 mm or 3/16 Allen key
1. Carefully unscrew the shift knob by rotating it counter-clockwise.
2. Take the inside of the shift boot and grab the cup holder beside the handbrake and gently pull on it until it unclips. Don’t try to get the two parts apart or you may break them.
3. Locate the plastic caps on each side of the central console in front of the front seats. Remove them by lightly inserting a little flat screw driver and prying the cap off. Take the cross screws out with the appropriate screw driver and keep them in a safe place. You will need them for re-installation. TWM Performance suggests using your empty ashtray to store the removed hardware during installation.
