Autosolutions SSK Installed

Daemonblitz · 06-23-2013, 08:12 PM

Just had my Autosolutions SSK Installed - feels great ! nice and firm... however it seems as if the angle of the shifter rod has changed and is now leaning towards the right.

This is how it sits in neutral

This is 6th

This is 1st

Did anyone else notice this change or did something get installed incorrectly in my case ?

Looks a little strange

No such issue with mine.

Does the rod have a bit of a tilt towards one side ? is it possible it was put on backwards and it's leaning in the opposite direction ?

If you check the autosolution's page you'll see they bend it in both plains so the shifter ends up in the stock position.

My guess is it's installed backwards or you got the RHD version? The position in neutral looks wrong.

I think somebody else had this same problem after install. If you search you might be able to find it. They took it apart then put it back together and fixed itself. It should be in the stock position when done.

Had a chat with the tech who installed it, turns out that the shift rod itself was installed backwards - will be going in next week to get it switched over.
