JPM Shifter Installed...

	jackl Member Join Date: Feb 2006 Location: Toronto, ON, Canada	Performance Shifter Install went as per instructions - one hitch was that I couldn't loosen off the set screw holding the OEM shifter. After breaking 2 allen keys (3/16"), I Googled "How to loosen off nuts with Blue Loctite ThreadLocker" - solution - heat set screw first, then turn. Bought a little butane torch, heated set screw for 20 seconds and it loosened right up. Installation as per JPM instructions about 30 minutes once I had the old shifter out. Looks awesome Joe. __________________ *Toronto, Ontario, Canada* SSOOO Founding Member - No. 1 Solstice/Sky Owners of Ontario Website (SSOOO) Solstice Forum SSOOO SubForum NASSOA Founding Member - No. 9 North American Solstice Sky Owners Association

That one rocks. Oh ya the shifter is awesome! I bought the mount for my previous version one iPhone and then modified it to fit the 3G iPhone as it is a little thicker. Removed the felt from the top slides and back and then cut out a section at the top left of the holder. This was required as Ringer Volume would completely off or to the highest volume sticking on the mount. A few cuts and it works perfectly. The added bonus is that it holds a Blackberry Curve perfectly when I don't have my iPhone in the holder. The mount is bought separately (ultimount V2) $30 and then you buy the holder to match you device (now there is the miCradle 3G $20 for the iPhone 3G). I got these from Pro Fit International. It also rotates for landscape view for Album view in iPod mode. __________________ *Toronto, Ontario, Canada* SSOOO Founding Member - No. 1 Solstice/Sky Owners of Ontario Website (SSOOO) Solstice Forum SSOOO SubForum NASSOA Founding Member - No. 9 North American Solstice Sky Owners Association Last edited by jackl : 08-01-2008 at 06:37 PM.

Feels better than OEM - more solid, you feel the gears engaging - probably because it's metal right through - no leather on the knob. If feels shorter but I don't think it is. I have the knob screwed right to the bottom as well. __________________ *Toronto, Ontario, Canada* SSOOO Founding Member - No. 1 Solstice/Sky Owners of Ontario Website (SSOOO) Solstice Forum SSOOO SubForum NASSOA Founding Member - No. 9 North American Solstice Sky Owners Association Last edited by jackl : 08-01-2008 at 06:20 PM.

Poly would more likely be less hot to the touch. Had the roof down and car was in the sun. It took a couple of minutes before that little aluminum piston cooled down. The look and feel is worth the pain! __________________ *Toronto, Ontario, Canada* SSOOO Founding Member - No. 1 Solstice/Sky Owners of Ontario Website (SSOOO) Solstice Forum SSOOO SubForum NASSOA Founding Member - No. 9 North American Solstice Sky Owners Association
