Using the K - Tuned Billet Shifter Base Plate is straightforward. First, make sure your vehicle is either a K - Tuned TSX/Accord Shifter KTD - TSX - ACC or has a TSX/Accord OEM Shifter. If you have a K - Swapped car with a 06 - 11 Civic Si (K20Z3) or K24 TSX/Accord transmission, it will also work. Mount the shifter base plate to install the shifter higher in the vehicle. When routing the shifter cables, run them inside the car and out through the heater hose hole in the firewall. Remember, most race cars have the heater core removed. One important thing to note is that this setup won't fit well with interior panels or center consoles. For maintenance, regularly check the mounting bolts for tightness to ensure the shifter base plate stays securely in place.
