i finished this mod , took my car for a spin and WOW, HOLY BEJEEBUS what a difference. It feels so tight, such a short throw. I do still have one minor problem, when i shift into first gear , something hits the metal case that holds the shift boot in place. if take the metal case out, it shifts fine. what could be hitting it? and its ONLY first gear , every other gear has no problems.
thanks to BustedLX and Blamethepunx, if it wasnt for u guys i woudnt of done this mod!
good stuff, both of u rule.Last edited by growguy; 01-24-2004, 10:15 PM.1991 JDM Galant VR-4

i think if you use a shorter bolt, you might be able to get that 4th one in there. i just never tried cuz 3 seems to be holding it in fineMEMBER'S RIDE
i was driving along today and the check engine light came on.
i pulled over and looked under the hood.
the engine was still there...
...silly light!

question about blamethepunx's shortened shifter... ever since it was posted ive been thinking about it... remounting the shifter underneath doenst affect the throw of the shifter whatsoever. same hinge point, and the shifter is still the same length, so the overall throw is the same. so if u skip jose's homedepot braket DIY and leave the cable attached to the original point, its gonna feel the same as stock, just lower down. i would think that only jose's way would actually affect the throw (which its proven to). am i correct in my thinking?
