Default Shifter adjustment

I wasn't pleased with my shifting. Especially into 2nd and finding 1st and reverse. Did the shifter alignment and worked awesome! Smooth as silk now. If your shifter is notchy or having issues especially 1st or reverse, give it a try before freaking out. You can find the procedure in the tech section. PS.

Check Youtube video by Froggy47. He has a lot of how to videos that are easy to follow and work very well.

Also consider the AntiVenom mod. Well worth the few minutes this one takes. On this one, if you can't find the 20mm copper washer like me, get a 3/4" grommet from Home Depot, split it in half with a razor blade and stretch one of the pieces over the bolt and have happy shifting. If you want more, try installing both halves. One was enough for me. My wife drove the car this weekend in an autocross and commented at how much better the shifting was with this $1.19 mod.

The video in this post shows the guy shifting with his finger tips, i can tell you i can't do that, it takes way more effort.

I did also notice the 2 piece rubber boot insulator and it fits nicely, definitely not like that on my car. I think i am going to pull it apart tonight when i get home.
