Hey guys, I'm new to hte Matrix forum, but I was reading the replies and questions and it seems to me you guys give really good advice and everything, so I was wondering if anyone out there was having the same problem or has had the same problem and can maybe help me on particular problem. I bought the TRD Matrix Quick Shifter and installed with the help of a friend, and we followed the exact instructions that the shifter came with, in my '05 XRS. The link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4504869719&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT
Now the problem is, everytime I shift from a top gear to a bottom gear, it pops open the under pocket panel. It doesn't pot it open, say If I just shift from neutral to a bottom gear (2,4,& 6th) but everytime i go from 1st to 2nd, 3rd to 4th, or 5th to 6th, it pops it open. So now I have to drive around with the bottom panel open all the time which doesn't really look rite. I called up TRD and they said that the 03' parts have been approved for the 05' but TRD mechanics have been calling around across the nation with the same problem. When I took to TRD, even the mechanic, told me it's better if I went online and on forums to fix this rather than TRD do it caus they would charge me an arm and a leg to fix it. I was also wondering if you can get Navigation installed in a Matrix 05 XRS? PLEASE IF ANYONE CAN HELP WITH THIS QUICKSHIFTER PROBLEM GET BACK TO ME ASAP.
