    Short Shifter Options...

    You can contact me after 3.January.2008, as I have a few extra inner bushings pre-drilled. I'd give the a difficulty level of about 4 to replace. It's best to replace the bushing when the shifter is out of the car. I tried an experiment trying to swap it while the shifter was...

    trans hard to shift

    Redline MT90 is a known transmission tune up in a can (or bottle). Though when it is cold (< 35F), a used W58 or R154 does have a tendancy irratable between 1st and 2nd. 2nd gear synchro's are first to wear. At some point, when 2nd (or sometimes 3rd) catches on a more regular basis...

    Quick / Short Sport Shifter V3

    It's actually called the S3 shifter. There is only V2 (or version 2). Both SupraSport.com and HorsePowerFreaks.com sell the same thing. ---- Honestly, just install it as is. You will like it. Height adjustment was a request, mostly due to those owners that were used to the sogi...
