I am installing my Numeric shifter, engine is out and is at FSI so I can’t actually “feel” how it feels. There are adjustments on the numeric for the cables. Should I wait to put the counsel back to check the adjustment? Has anyone had to make adjustments to the cables? If so how did you determine what needed adjusted? Just really trying to figure out if I should stop after putting the shifter in and wait to put it back together until I can drive it.

Personally taking the console back apart is easy. I'd button it up for the satisfaction of "completing" the job and so no parts get lost.
And, FWIW, on the three shifters I've worked on for friends there was no need to make adjustments.

You will like the Numeric shifter, I really like mine and I keep it in the middle setting….as for cables I kept the stock ones in and got the Function First cable ends and for me it feels perfect…just some food for thought. After install it felt a little tight but it broke in and now feels perfect.

I actually do already have the FF cable inserts and am sticking with stock cables.
I left everything apart and am going to take the time to clean things up. I know it is easy to take back apart, I am just always afraid of busting a plastic clip or something. I figured once I get the engine back in I will see how it feels and make any needed adjustments. If I don’t need any I will just button it all back up.
Getting anxious to get this thing back on the road!!

After putting motor in, the first place i drove to was the gas station...and of course...when i tried to start car again it BARELY started...only struggles when hot...so now a 10 minute job with motor out is going to take me four hours 😅

Yeah we are doing the cable and they will check the starter.
Are you sure it isn’t your battery? I heard Jake mention this could be an issue with the higher compression 4.0 builds.

Don't worry about how to adjust the Numeric shifter, just do it after the cable ends are back on the gearbox. Adjusting the Numeric is as simple as placing the transmission in neutral, then adjusting each cable until the gearstick stands perfectly upright. That's it. You'll find it to be one of the easiest tasks to do.

Jonan, have you thought about cleaning or replacing the ground stud first. Have a read of this thread https://rennlist.com/forums/997-foru...-resolved.html
