Using this shifter cable trans bracket is easy. First, gather all the parts in the package, including the 3 spacers and 3 mounting bolts. Make sure your vehicle is in a safe and stable position. If you're using it on a 2006 - 2011 Civic SI (K20Z3), remember to use a 2002 - 2006 RSX - S shift selector. Mount the bracket on the appropriate transmission according to your vehicle model. Tighten the mounting bolts securely. As for maintenance, keep an eye on the bracket for any signs of wear or damage. If you notice any issues, it's best to check the bolts' tightness. You can clean the bracket with a mild cleaner to keep it looking good. This bracket is made of durable 6061 billet aluminum, so it should last a long time, but regular checks will ensure its optimal performance.
