8. Remove the clip on the bottom of
the shifter, which connects it to the
lower shifter cable. Remove the
plastic pivot cup from the lower shifter
cable. Also remove the clip attaching
the left side shifter cable to the shifter
arm. The stock shifter can now be
removed.
9. For an Evolution 8 follow this step:
using a grinder, shave down the sides
of the counterweight / boot support in
order to remove the white plastic cup.
This in no way damages the stock
shifter and it is still usable after the
procedure. This enables you to
remove the white plastic retaining ring
without any cutting.

10. Now remove the rubber bushings
at the 4 corners of the plastic
assembly and replace with the
aluminum bushings supplied with the
kit by placing them beneath the plastic
assembly. Use the M8 x 25mm bolts
supplied with the kit and place the
large washers on top of the assembly,
followed by the small washers.
Thread the bolts through the 2
washers to secure the assembly to the
floor.
11. Use the cup remover tool i
with the kit to remove both plastic cu
on the original shifter. To do so, place
the cup remover tool on top of the
open jaws of a vice, the jaws shoul
be approximately 1” apart. Hang
shifter from the tool as shown. Be
sure the shifter is inserted comple
into the slot in the tool. Insert a punch
into the center hole through the plas
cup and tap firmly with a hammer to
separate the original shifter from cup.
Repeat for 2nd cup on the side arm o
the shifter.

the steps used to remove the stock
part.

may need to apply grease to the i
of the plastic ring at the top of the shif
boot in order to allow it to be re-
installed onto the TWM Per
shifter.
