Using this drivetrain package is easy. First, refer to the installation guides that come with each component to install the front and rear shifter bushings and the short throw shifter. When adjusting the short throw shifter, you can set the knob height and throw length according to your personal preference. For normal use, just shift gears as you would with a regular shifter, but you'll notice a much better feel. As for maintenance, regularly check the shifter bushings for any signs of wear. If you notice any slop coming back or if the bushings look damaged, it's time to replace them. Also, keep the shifter clean to ensure smooth operation. And remember, since this is an intermediate - level installation, if you're not confident in your skills, it's best to have a professional do the installation.
