Finally got all the parts I needed to do the install.

You might remember the shifter when I first got it



Then I found out it would be wise to upgrade the transmission sleeve to a bronze one (the stock is a plastic one prone to breaking)



Then I just needed the weekend, and a relatively warm day, which I just HAD.

Here's the crappy crappy long and sloppy stock shifter:



Removed my center console (boy was the car filthy under here)



The old shifter came right off, dropped the new bronze sleeve in:



Get the new shifter on there!!!



And put it alllll back together





CLASSIC

I have a lot of getting used to with this thing. It is very strong, and very stiff. I missed 3rd gear a couple times trying to quickly shift this thing. They say it's a 40% shorter throw, it feels almost 70% shorter!!! I don't even feel like I have gone down into 2nd when I am in it.

New learning curve, I love it

 

I barely have to move mine to go into the next gear now u need a new shift boot

 

looks Awesome mike!!

 

That looks way too fun... Great work!

 

Awesome switch!! Looks SUPER easy too!

 

Looks ten times better than the stock one.

 

You will love it after you drive it a few times..
Looks Good ..

 

Thanks everyone!

New shift boot... I would like it, but I'm not here to spend a lot on this car. I'm only having it for a year or 2 while the 2010/2011 gets a little cheaper

 

Looks great, way better than the stock one

 

Very cool Mike!
