LG Camaro short shifter Gen 5 camaro “THE MOST POWERFUL HEADERS ON THE PLANET” Brought to you by LG Motorsports 972-429-1963 Thank you for purchasing LGM’s short throw shifter for your Camaro Parts Inventory: 1. LG Short Shifter 2. Instructions Optional 1.
Instructions: Removal: Start by supporting the car on a lift, or 4 jack stands on a level surface enough to fit under the car as you will have to remove the shifter from the bottom of the car. From inside the car start by removing the factory shift knob. This requires some effort but you need to pull straight up on the knob with a slight twisting action to release it from the clip inside.
With the trim panel up, becareful of the gage package wiring. There should be enough wiring there to allow this panel to be laid over to the side out of the way. Next you will be removing the lower shift boot from the transmission tunnel. These are held down with four Philips head screws. See figures 3a and 3b.
Figure 5a and 5b: removing dust boot and pivot rod Now that the boot is removed you will need to remove one of the two clips holding the pivot pin in place. This can be done with a long flat screw driver, or your fingers. Once this is out, slide the rod out and the shift lever is now free. This is easiest to remove with the transmission in N. There are now just two 10mm head screws holding the shift lever in place. You will need a 10mm socket, swivel and extension to reach this.

These simply side off with a little push on the plastic bearing. Please note the line up before removing. You may want to apply a little bit of grease to the ball prior to assembly for smooth action.

Now you are ready to install the shifter back into the car. Install is going to be basically the reverse of your removal. Start by installing the shifter from the bottom side of the car, and replacing the two screws removed on the plate. Line up the shift rod and re-install the shift level pin and clips.
