Default Shifter upgrade
New custom built short shifter
Rebuilt lower box using upgraded bushings, seals and needle bearings. I am excited to see how this new combo works out as soon as I get car out of hibernation!

It's a good looking set up. Let us know how you like it. Maybe measure the throw length from stock to yours and see how it compares

Did you rebuild the lower box and if so, where did you get the parts/kit?

My shifter box is being rebuilt by the same place (TMod Customs) and should be a nice improvement. The shaft bushings were complete junk. Lots of slop.
