Hahaha, maybe I'd put that thing in a gutted out track car but not something I had to drive on a daily basis.

I'll just say to each their own on this one.

Wires go up to the engine compartment, merge with the engine harness in with the intake manifold sensors, then routed across the back of the engine to the connectors mounted on the passenger shock tower.
So replacing the sensor requires some wiring work with the harness?

No, the sensor has a pigtail that clips off the harness ~4 inches away from the sensor. Piece of cake.

Also, my shifter doesn't rebound back to the center like the OEM did. If I come out of 1st, it rebounds to the center, but coming out of 5th it doesn't. Hmmm, don't know if I like that. Let's see how she performs in the coming days.

You should have called me to help you. I put that shifter in my teg a while back...it would made the process go a lot quicker. I suggest getting a set of poly bushings. I really think they made more of a difference than putting in a short shifter IMO. Lemme know if you need any more help.

I didn't install a short shifter. I installed a long shifter!

Hi Daniel, Phil here...Phils Tire Service ...etc etc.....

I like that long shifter...I have been considering it also.....tell me what it feels like. Are you going to be at CMP? I'd like to look at it if you are, if I could.
