Installed one this spring before driving season started. All went well. I went to drive the car yesterday and I can’t engage 1,3,5 gears and went back and looked at the instructions. Says to grind the coupler. Ugh that’s an NOS one but ok did that. Better but where it needs to be. So now do I machine the bushing thinner? Give up on the bushing and go back to stock? Any ideas?

I am a fan For sure one of best bang for your buck improvements you can do to the car. but Add the Tangerine rear shift rod and a Jwest shifter, it gets even better. |
