ISIS Short Shifter for RB25DET does not fit...

I spent an hour dicking around with this short shifter. It simply doesn't fit. It's a tight fit down in there so it's hard to see, even with a flashlight, but it looks like the plastic swivel piece at the end of the shifter is not getting lined up properly to go into the slot. I tried all kinds of different things and even tapped it a few times with a hammer. No luck.

The factory shifter installs very easily. I've installed a short shifter before on my RB20DET and it went in like a champ (but always slipped out of gear).

Any advice on getting this sucker in or should I just return it?

Compare the diameter of the two shifters' 'little white tip' with vernier calipers. A lot of shifters have removable tips if they are a plastic cup with four slits in them. You might be able to swap them to get it to fit, too. Alignment is tricky; else it won't go in.

Tips appear identical, but the interior on the factory is different than the aftermarket so I can't swap them =/

I tried again for about 30 minutes today. No luck. I bought this because my factory shifter felt a little clunky and mostly because I needed that lower rubber boot to seal the transmission from spewing gear lube into the cabin. Sigh.

ah that sucks dude. seems like for the most part that isis stuff is pretty legit for the price but it looks like they still have some problems with a few products.

maybe they'll swap it for a different brand? or just a new one?

you cant see a way to mod it or anything to make it work?

Well, I bought it from an online store and he was nice about working with me via Email to get some photos and make sure it was the right one, etc... but when I asked if he could ship a replacement and bill me for it, then I could return this one and get a credit... Nothing ever came of it.

I kind of gave up.

Basically, the plastic piece that swivels around and goes down into the slot was a touch too big or something and wouldn't fit no matter what I did.
