I installed my RennShifter last night (& wrapped up this a.m. - didn't have a 7/32'nd hex). Very nice product and the installation was super simple, at least if you've ever played with the shifter assy before. Plus my car has no interior or console or passenger seat so the access is fantastic.

Anyways, the only small glitch is that there's a bit of interference with the clutch tube on the left side of the tunnel when going for 4th or 5th gear. I can get it in gear OK but it's definitely making a little contact.

What's the preferred way to push/bend the tube for clearance? I don't want to kink or break it, obviously. Can I just kinda pry on it with a screwdriver or something? Or would it be better to try to clamp it out of the way with an adel clamp kind of thing?

The shifter feels great (in the garage). (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_flagge24.gif) Hoping to go for a drive this evening after a few more minor projects (IMG:style_emoticons/default/MDB2.gif)

I got the 18% and am very happy w/ it. I have never been a fan of "short shift kits" (I've used several flavors on 911's and 914's and always ended up removing them) but this feels just right to me.
