MGW Shifter Question - Help Please
I just purchased a MGW shifter for my 2012 GS. I watched the install video several times and it seemed pretty straight forward....that is until I went to install the new MGW shifter to the shift case. The video clearly shows that you use the 4 provided bolts that have both a lock washer and a flat washer. My issue is the 4 bolts that I received all have lock washers but no flat washers. Anyone run into this? I could just get some washers at the hardware store, but now am wondering if something changed and they aren't used? Anyone have any insight into this... If George is out there and can address this even better. My car is torn apart now and I would love to get it back together before Monday.
