Last week, I finally got around to doing my first aftermarket upgrade. (aside from audio, that is...) The local performance shop is Street & Strip in Grande Prairie, AB. I ordered this: http://www.bmracing.com/s.nl/c.723089/n.2/it.A/id.211/.f?sc=17&category=6068
and this: http://www.autopartsway.ca/acp/index.cfm?ID=SBvh~PGpd~MK21~MD990~YR10~CT101~SC705 ~PT1130007 (link just for demonstration purposes.)
Since I don't have an appropriate space for working under a car, I had the shop do the work.
Since my old knob was trash, I also got this: http://www.canadiantire.ca/browse/product_detail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=84552444325 2496&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=1408474396672485&bmUID=1224047914034&deptid=1408474396672395&ctgrid=1408474396672403&subctgrid=1408474396672485 (in black chrome.)
Before the swap, I could wiggle the shifter side-side about 8 inches (in gear.)
the shifter bushing set really tightened it up.
I'm really enjoying the new shifter set-up, but it took a little while to get used to how low the knob is, and how short the throws are.
Now that I'm used to it, I'm really happy with my choices.
Any questions? :D
