4. Ensure all fasteners (F-106NW, F-100NW M8 Locknut) are properly tightened.

Shift Type Configuration (Refer to Shift Side Exploded View, Sheet 3 of 3)

• Standard Shift: Use the OEM shift arm.
• GP Shift: Use the included RS262XK shift arm.

Specific Installation Notes for GP Shift

1. Install the cover on the other side of the bracket as shown in IMAGE 1.
2. Ensure the cover is aligned with the rubber grommet and no wires are pinched.
3. Flip the RS262XK shift arm as shown in IMAGE 2.

Troubleshooting

• Difficulty Shifting: Ensure all shift linkage components are properly aligned and tightened. Check for any obstructions.
• Loose Components: Re-check all nuts and bolts against the exploded views. Ensure M8 locknuts (F-100NW) are securely fastened.
• Incorrect Shift Pattern: Verify that the correct shift arm (OEM for standard, RS262XK for GP) is installed and configured as per instructions.
• Pinching Wires (GP Shift): If wires are pinched, carefully re-position the cover and ensure it aligns correctly with the rubber grommet as shown in IMAGE 1.

FAQs

Q: Can I install the RS275K myself?
A: No, the RS275K is strictly for installation by a certified mechanic only, as stated in the instructions.

Q: Is this product suitable for street use?
A: No, the RS275K is explicitly labeled “FOR RACE USE ONLY.”

Q: What is the difference between Standard Shift and GP Shift?
A: Standard shift typically means 1st gear down, and subsequent gears up. GP shift reverses this, often with 1st gear up and subsequent gears down. The RS275K supports both configurations by using either the OEM shift arm (Standard) or the included RS262XK (GP).
