Has anyone ever bought one that didn't like it? If so, why. Anybody ever sold one that they bought?
I think I'm wanting one... Greg DeBord |

I've heard nothing but praise. The only issues I have heard was that the center tray screws may have been replaced with longer screws - which may need to be replaced. $.06 in new screws if needed. That is about as close to an issue as I have heard.

You are correct - not available - get in line along with the rest of us. I talked to Jim West a couple of weeks ago he should be starting to ship about now to those at the head of the line.

Stooooopid questions:
Can you install one with a factory center console in place, or does that need to be removed? If you can install it, does it look the same? |

it fits with the console, but you have to enlarge the hole the shifter passes through in the bottom piece ... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) Andy |

Yep, that is about it. It is only one screw though. You won't find these things second hand. Andy, Did you resolve your squeaking problem? Was it the center tray screw? -Jeff |
