I am just using a single washer. I have tried 2 in the past and it was too loose feeling. Not enough feedback for me. Others may like 2 though. Its all personal preference. Its so easy to do and switch around to find what you like best.

I got under my car yesterday to locate the plug and the whole top and side of my tranny is caked in grease and dirt. You can barely make out the plug up there.

I did this Mod today and I can certainly feel a difference with my shifting, especially withe the 1st to reverse. My shifter is a C6 ZO6 shifter.

I know what you mean I went to two different AutoZones and two Oreilly's neither had it in stock. The last Oreilly's I went to ordered it for me and I had it the next day. The part number is 65277.

Thanks for posting this! I have a short shifter in or '04 ZO6, and its so notchy that it affects the way I drive. I just can't seem to hit the gears clean, and I've been driving a manual in all manner of cars most of my life. So far, this is the only issue I dislike on the car...so tomorrow I know what my project for the day will be. Hope I can find the parts to do it!

Just finished doing this mod. It does help the shifting a great deal. I think mine is still too stiff, but am planning on driving it a week or so before adding another washer to see what effect that has. Overall, the best Mod for the price I have yet to find.....

Guys-
Autozone, Advance, O'reilly's all NG here- but good ol' NAPA---- 99c each no problem-
I don't know why I don;t go there first any more- always did years ago (but that was before all the "new" stores-
Anyway- with the MGW shifter it is a great mod- the shifter is now still short and firm but no muscle or tendon tearing on my arm anymore- (this from an old guy with 65 yo muscles and tendons)
Unrelated note- Advance Auto has online sale code "A123" for $20 bucks off any purchase of $50- and I was getting Rhino ramps anyway- so I added a PF46 oil filter to get the total list price over $50 and paid $36 for the ramps and filter. If I got the ramps only with $10 off a $30 purchase my total would have been $38. Ain't this a great country???!!!!!!!!

Guys:
This modification will reduce the "notch" feeling when shifting between gears.
Easy to install and remove if you don't like it.
