Reply #31 – December 22, 2005, 09:13:17 PM Quote from: darkthunderooo nice. it looks stock minus the shifter. looks like your parking brake works too. *envies* :DThat shifter is off of a probe. It was the only thing that would screw on. I'm going to get a bullit shifter for it. I'm going to get a nice shifter for it as well.And yes my parking brake works. Every time I'm under the car I spray lubricant on the cables and bell crank assembly. Quote Selected

Dogcharmer : There isn't a crack on the firewall, probably one of the shadows making it look that way. Mex Cougar and others : The car drives 100% better. I don't find myself having to downshift to climb hills anymore. The car just feals more powerfull. Only problem is having the auto computer, I described the problem in another thread with more detail. I've actually not shortend my driveshaft yet, and I'm starting to think I don't have too. What I previously though was a noise coming from my U-joints is actually an effect of my bad motor mounts. the shifter base is actually moving over and rubbing the transmission tunnel. New motor mounts will fix this. I don't have a tach in my car yet, I'm working on that. I drive by the sound of the engine right now. Gas milage is a bit better too. Quote Selected
