Default Carefull when changing exhaust

If you look at how the origional exhaust comes off you need to pull it toward the rear of the vehicle about 6 inches or so. The front left pipe which connects directly to the cat and has the flange on the end when pulled backward directly contacts the shift linkage. This kinked my linkage beneath the rubber boot. It made the shifter sticky to shift. (auto tranny) I had to pull the boot back and un-kink and shoot with a little wd40, worked like a charm..

That sounds like what happened to me, except I was still able to shift the car. It was only after that story I told youthat I had a problem :confused:

Glad it's fixed :cheers:

If you can raise the left side a couple inches it will clear the linkage.I did mine over a pit which made it a piece of cake. :cheers:
