FIAT 500 SHORT SHIFTER INSTALL 

Damon - I think it would be great for you to make a "Top 5 Abarth Modifications in 2018" video as a recap of the best changes you made to your car over the past year, why it ranks where it does, and some highlights from the original video. Would def be a good watch - just a thought for some good content!

Really like the video and perfect timing, i literally ordered the same short shifter yesterday. I cant wait to install. My stock shifter is getting really sloppy so it is time to change out. Love the car and all your abarth videos thank you. Still waiting for that valley crew gear

I bought the bonolume short shifter, worked fine for 6 months. Then I installed the Neu-f engine mount insert. After a couple hard shifts the shifter tore right at the weld. If you’re going to do the engine mount insert, I don’t recommend this short shifter as it’s aluminum and adds stress to the shifter cables.

$250. Not a bad price. I'd been thinking that a short shifter was next for me. Good video.

PITA to install that snap ring! 4 plus hours... hammer and long thick flat head in less than a minute... Key is to get the snap ring tapped in about a 1/4 then hammer down on the screw driver 1/3, 1/2, 2/3, then finally the last of the snap ring is installed. Everything else is easy. Final install with a weighted shift knob is much tighter and much less slop! Well worth the aggravation of the ‘snap ring’! PS. I did use a snap ring wrench initially (4 hours). Decided caveman time and bang it into place! The snap ring is very stiff!

Those chrome trim pieces look a million times better being painted black. I think if there was a way to do them in black chrome that would also look nice. Then again I've never been a huge plain chrome fan lol.

thanks for ur vid, i was trying to find out how to remove window switch plate and nothing was out there, ur vid showed me perfectly how to, so Thx again!!!! add window switch removal to ur tags

Short shifter feels so much better!

thank you so much! my shortshift now is installed! (Bonalume)

you should of got a true short shifter by aad the shifts like a gated shifter really smooth.

You’re making me want an Abarth more and more :(

First comment yes Lol, your abarth is looking great keep up the great work

Well done 🥇🔝

Where did you get the shift gear knob ? Have a link ?

Where did you find your shift knob? I know madness has a yellow one with the red stripe by Black but that one is ugly.

Was the "stock" gear lever you removed a craven speed? Didnt look like a stock levee

Wow nice car man..

Awesome video! Where did you get the badge decals??????

Where did you get your shift knob from?

Sick ride, I love it. Do you have the link to the front lip?

what paint do u use for ur plastic trim pieces?

Where did you get that shifter knob?

Unfortunately , like most all of these videos the most difficult part...the one that would involve extra cost is skipped over. Removal of the black "basket" does not show exactly how to use the screwdriver and where to push/lever to get it out. I have mine at exactly this point and it really is not clear how hard to push or what the technique exactly is. All the rest is easy as pie. Get your camera right on the subject next time ....please!!

how was new years?

can't believe you call this a fiat 500 lol it's an abarth 500 :D

poopy

ew

Your car is super ill. Can't wait to get my own abarth
