im about to go out in the garage and change my oil... while i have the car off the ground, im installing my new shifter and bushings.

i know where the long bushing goes im not so sure about the cylindrical one. can somebody please let me know? might help the process go a little faster.

thanks!

 

follow the "bar that connects the acutal shifter to the tranny or whatever, you'll see it there. it's not too hard to put on.

 

I don't know about shifting any faster but it did seem to feel nicer after the bushings. Even my short shift didn't seem to shift that much faster, just made the wait longer for the syncro's inside the tranny to engage.

 

yeah, i didnt get a short shifter, what i did is have my friend cut 2 sections out of a stock shifter so it looked "sporty" but it makes no difference in my shift times. ill have pics of that up tomorrow.
i must say that the new bushings to make the shifter feel a lot more solid, no more side to side play with the shifter while its in gear... i like it :thumbup:

it was a bitch to work on that thing for 2 reasons:
1. i kept my stock exhaust on - being a WS and not stock, that made things worse but i got around it okay... just took some more time.
3. those stupid stupid bolts they used to hold the shifter retainer on the linkage were a bitch.... i ended up drilling one of them out and employing my dad to hold the 2nd one with vice grips while i worked the nut off.
