PMT DIY Twingo/Clio 1.2 TCE Short shift

So as no one seems to do a short shifter for the Twingo or Clio 1.2 TCE so i gave it a quick crack. Final results are just over an inch less throw and the gear lever sitting half inch closer to the driver. Nothing major, i didnt really find the standard shift that long tbh but i kept seeing people asking for a short shifter. Took me all of 20min to do. This is how you do it.... The PMT way

You will need a drill, pilot and m8 tapping size, 6.5 or 6.7 will do for this. An M8 x 1.25 tap. Also you will require a 10mm m8 ball ended stud HERE

Remove everything thats in the way of the shift mechanism, mine was easy to get to as i have relocated the battery so i just removed the air filter.
It will look like this

Theres pretty much only one place it can go due to the shape of the bracket and the cable end. I marked mine up, pilot drilled it, then through with an m8 tap (y)

After you have done this get the 10mm ball end stud and thread it in the hole you created. I fitted mine with a spring washer to raise it slightly and then added a dab of thread lock.

Then pop the cable end onto the new ball end

Make sure everything moves freely and the car engages gear nice and smooth, refit everything and enjoy your slightly shorter shift (y) Boom, mic drop, done :D
