Default MIL and shifter install

Just picked up my MIL eliminators and Pro 50 for the 02 . Now I havent done either one before but I am assuming the MIL's just plug into the 02 sensor harnesses but a step by step would help if you guys could. Also the shifter came with some instructions but any helpful pointers would be much appreciated. Thanks guys.

Default RE: MIL and shifter install

For the MILs, just get under your car and unplug both of the rear O2s, plug the MILs in.Then plug the sensors back in and your done.

For the shifter, unscrew the ****. Then take the outer boot off (press your fingers under the plastic partand yank it off). It will say to take the handle off but dont. next take the inner boot out (8mm socket if i remember correctly). Once thats off, unscrew the screws holding the shifter down (its either a 13mm or 15mm, i forget). Now for the fun part, getting the old shifter off. Pretty much push it over under 5th, then give it a good wack or two, it should break free (dont be a little baby, your not gonna break anything).Once its off, get a razor blade and scrape all the old gasket off the tranny.Also take the plastic piece off the old shifter (the black thing on the very bottom) and put in on the new one. Now take some high temp RTV gasket maker and put a small bead of it around the tranny where the shifter will sit, but dont over due it. Now place the shifter on the tranny, and screw it down using the bolts that came with the shifter (i think there should new ones, my tri ax came with new ones). Now you can either set the shifter stops, or take em out since you have the TR-3650 and it has built in stops (i set mine for extra protection). Once you do that, reinstall the inner boot, and then put the handle on. Now put the outer boot back on, and reinstall the ****. Your all done now, happy shifting.

Hope thats good.
