Barton Shifter Install Story-OMG
HTML-код

- This is the story of my adventure installing the Barton Short Throw shifter for a 2017 Dodge Challenger Shaker. How watching other You Tube Videos helping and not helping to install the shifter. Plus my own drama with a Carriage Bolt that made the project harder than it needed to be . A must watch, very funny after its over.
Great video and a great car guy story! I've got a barton I'm waiting to install, and it's good to hear this worst case scenario video. Thank you for posting!
A good cautionary tale. Looking to install my Barton this weekend. Thanks for the tips!
Thanks for sharing your Barton install story. There is a lot of satisfaction in working on your own car. No breakage during my install .... but I did have a couple of self-inflicted hiccups. First hiccup was after the complete install and I turned around to back out of the garage and saw the AC duct sitting in the back seat. DOH! Second hiccup was when it was time to put everything back together (again) and my 10mm socket had vanished. The socket had found it's way under the passenger-side WeatherTech mat.
And, YES! Props to WorkPlayDrive!! I kept my iPad on the dash and used his video as a step-by-step installation guide.
I am about to order one for my '16 Scat Challenger. 2 Lessons learned by me from this. Correct orientation of the block & take it for a spin prior to putting the center console back on. Thanks! Have fun with the Challenger!
Thanks for sharing your install experience with the Barton Shifter. I’m looking forward to my purchase of a 2020-2021 Challenger... Manual trans is a must for me, and will absolutely install a Barton Short Shifter, too. Like you said... We buy these cars for the experience and for the joys of working on them👍🏽 Keep the videos coming.
Thanks so much, there will be new content soon. Enjoy the ride and your new 2021..
I tried to swap mine yesterday in an automatic, was a nightmare, couldn't even get the whole console out. Gave up for now, came across your video and it made me burst out laughing. I relate so much and when they told you you had to buy the whole piece at dodge. 🤣 Nothing is ever easy, thanks for the story.
Nice story man. Work Play Drive is definitely the guy to go to with top quality DIY mods and has the best tutorials, mainly because of his calming voice lol. You gonna have a special bond with your car with each mod you do to it yourself
Thank you, you have a great channel. This is a great car and great journey and I look forward to putting out more videos. Thanks for giving me feed back.
@@mopar1788 you welcome man. I still have a ways to go myself. Been needing to do a few update videos on my car
Thanks for the feedback, WPD is a pretty great channel. Thanks for watching my small video.
Hey, thanks for the kind words man ;)
lol that block is such a variable, I called Barton when I originally installed because the way they suggested just seemed off, they confirmed the way I installed it was their preferred method and in that orientation the shifter would be quieter.
You have a great channel and I have learned alot from you. I am looking forward to stepping up my channel content soon, I am also looking forward to your Hellcat and seeing what you do with it. My MOPAR17 is really the car I was looking for with the shaker and large engine. Lets see what I can make out it. CHEERS>>>
Thank you a appreciate the kind words.
My story was long but it was actually fun installing the shifter. Some time I will tell you about my first brake job on a 1988 Buick Reatta, now that was funny!!!!!
So bolts backwards is ok then?! I don’t wanna rip it out again!! 😂
I love my Barton!
That was a good story; I’m preparing to install mine-didn’t think about that happening 😎
Wow I have 2 waiting on me to install..that my friend is a frightening story!
I wish you were still making videos man. You're hilarious. Great story.
That was an awesome story, you had me laughing for 10 minutes , you made my day and I bought a Barton for my Hellcat and it will be installed by a professional, thanks
I am glad you found it funny, it was actually a lot of fun despite the drama. Lmao 🤣
Great story, I loved it. A good experience you’ll never forget that’s what it’s all about. I’m ready, I am getting me a Barton for my Challenger and I will be installing it as well thanks.
Let me know how it comes out
Will do.
Maaaaan, I thought I was the only one that had epic disaster stories like this. 😆🤦🏻♂️
…..instant subscribe. 👍🏼
Thanks for the advice. I’m installing a Barton on my 18 Challenger R/T this weekend.
You are the man.
love my barton and speed dawg knob, it makes it yours custom and you interact with it constantly you couldn’t do anything more personal to your car
Awesome news it adds so much to bring out the real car.....
Great Video and Story!!! Had to laugh but it's all good. Sometimes you need to heat up that lock tight before trying to break it. Thanks for the heads up tip! Have a good one....
I installed it today like you said "wrong" and have to say it's a little bit loud so tomorrow gonna change that thing and see what's then :)
Good morning, I hope your installation and turning that piece the other way make the difference. Let me know how it comes out.
Cheers
Great video brotha appreciate your time.
Sounds like a typical project scenario that would happen to me always. I can't change a simple bulb on my car Without breaking something, causing a short circuit, starting a fire, burning my car my house and my neighbor's house down. Sometimes the simplest tasks brings new and unique challenges. To me only that is. Anyways glad you were able to finish the project at the end.
yup...planning on one myself for when I get my own 2015-2018 SRT 392..missed out on ordering my own ..so ...going to have a rough time finding one in White, Sepia Laguna Leather...6spd... Nice Vid!
Thanks big guy!
So glad I watch this video. I just installed the Barton after watching the work play drive video. I drove the car down the street and wanting to take it back out. It’s vibrating noisy and sticky. I am thinking the Barton is overrated at this point. I’m going to turn that block around before I go back to the stock shifter. I hope this fixes my issues.
Let me know if it works.
Alike thinker here, subbed
Years ago, told my buddy doing brakes would take 30 minutes... 6 hours later and i cant remember how many trips to the parts store...
Let me know if you need any other information, its a great shifter and I will be doing a followup this week.
LMAO, I swear it never takes just a few minutes and the story is the best part.
This scares the shit out of me.
No worries it's a good. I purchased another Mopar17 and put a Barton shifter in it, this time there were zero issues.
Would heating the part near where the screw is threaded into it soften the locktite and allow the screw to come out easily?
That may be a way to break the lock loose, just don't heat it up too much. Do not apply to much pressure because it could break. Use a solvent to lose the part. Good luck.
100%. Heat always does the trick. Never force a bolt. Period.
Great story as scary as it was. I just ordered a Barton for my 2012 Classic and came across your channel looking for install info. There are a handful of videos and forums on the install and non mention bolts locked and or broken. I wonder why yours was so tight, maybe the t-bone accident you mentioned? Guess I worry about this since my Challenger is my only car...
Let me know if you need any other information, its a great shifter and I will be doing a followup this week.
The Barton is a great shifter, just be careful taking off the carriage bolt!!! LMAO....
Hey man great video I put a barton in my challenger rt I just changed that rear block around like you mentioned shifts better now but do u have any issues goin from 1st too 2nd? Sometimes mine is a little nochie but all the other gears are smooth.
Yes, I found out it was the transmission. Get the shift delete, the original equipment makes you skip second gear. It sucks, so it feels like you struggle to get it engaged. It's called the skip shift delete, look it up on you tube to see what I am talking about. I hope this helps, let me know how it comes out. Thanks.
@@mopar1788 im not sure thats it
I drive mine in track mode so no skip shift and I get notchy shifts. Mostly in 3rd and 2nd. Sometimes even first when sitting at a light. I thought it was my stock shift linkage. Which is why i started looking into this. But now i see a post saying even with the Barton you can get notchy shifts. Hmmm
How much did the stealer ship wanna charge to do this 150?
haha... just installed it last night I was up till 2am determined to finish it because in my head there was no way I wanted this to drag on to multiple days... I went for a drive the next day and heard rattling... fuck
work play drive and americanmuscle show to install that block bolts out, but otner videos show bolts toward the engine. Weird
Mine is bolts facing rear (out) and I don’t hear any noise. had no issues on my install. Able to get the bolts out easily. Glad I did this mod
So buy a used one for 100 bucks just in case for the bolt before doing this why didn’t the bolt loosen
Going to get this hope it goes smooth lol btw is the mopar emblem on your seats aftermarket? If so where can I get them?
The MOPAR emblem was part of the original equipment.
Good luck you will do just fine, the LOGO is part of the MOPAR17 Edition, the seats have a special emblem from MOPAR.
I did the install no issues & I love it!
@@LorenKyleDiedrich great job
Homeboy sounds like Seth Rogen
Glad you enjoyed the video
Got to give you credit, job well done. I have a Hurst shifter myself and I don't like it. Shift is not smooth
Always fighting it. Mo money??
Thanks for the comments. It was actually fun installing it and it Rocks as far as the look in the car. Very solid.
Don't get offended, but you should have never touched that shifter install as you did. You admit that your mechanical skills are limited, and something happened that you didn't expect. Are you really surprised? I'm 63 and I am not a professional mechanic, but I've been working on my own vehicles since I was 14, so you might say that I'm qualified to turn wrenches, I just never immersed myself in the "job" part of that experience. I have tons of mechanical knowledge and experience, but as a hobbyist, not a pro. I can perform most any repair or part swap without issue except for computer stuff and some electrical work. For that stuff, I always use a pro. I know my limitations. There are tricks that you learn in such a process, and unless you've been wrenching on cars since you were getting your first stinky finger from a girl, you should have never done this job alone, you should have a guy like me as a good friend and be humble enough to ask that friend for some help, pointers, about tricks he knows, about chemicals he uses in stuck bolt situations like yours. You could have paid your friend half of what you paid for that new shifter and had it done right. Hell, he may have done it for pizza and beer!
