Did he need numbers on the shift knob?

Probably never seen a stick before. It's a dying breed.

Get rid of the ETS intake, it sucks.

Im happy I never bought one lol. And Scheides have fun with the car! Hope to see it soon

Noticed that the shifter had a noticeable slop in it despite the freshy-fresh tranny, brass bushings, and short shifter. I took apart the console to investigate and discovered that the allen locking bolts had loosened a little on the center ball:

So, took it apart quick and cleaned it up. Then remembered that i like my short shifter to angle left instead of back (maybe because im short?) so i rotated it 90...I can reach it easier now and the slop is gone! Fresh grease in there never hurts either :)

I had the console apart to begin installing race car parts...unhooked the lower clutch sensor for clutchless engine starts, unhooked seatbelt sensor so i could not be dinged at while wearing this:

80 miles on the clock and I'm real happy so far!

Nice!!

That was on my list of things this spring. It was just too cold this winter to fix the shifter!

That black harness looks nice in there!

How do you like the knob? I have the stock if you prefer that.

Ya I haven't touched one of these short shifters in probably 2 or maybe 3 years (wow) and for a second I stopped and was like, 'I usually do this with two people and the other person for like 30 of the 35 or so of these I've done has been Hughes...can I really do this by myself?' Lol but I forged on anyways with great success! Easier than I remember.

Ya I might grab the stock knob from ya just to try it out...I like the ones you made but...they're cold on my bare hands :). Will swap them around in warmer weather and see!

[rose0529]

LOL, yeah they are cold... that part sucked. I've been known to just stick a glove over it!

The last shifter you did was mine in my old VIII. :D
