another small question - once i removed my stock shifter housing, I noticed that there was a "neon" green / lime green colored plastic piece on the stock housing that was NOT on my new 987 housing - but the new housing clearly had hte exact same fittings/cut outs so that the piece off my old housing woudl come off the stock one and snap right onto the new one.

if you've done this mod you know what i'm talking aboutg - in the B&M insgtructions they call it something like the shifter floor plate... it's about 2" x 2". and it has 3 little pronts that insert/grab the base of the plate... it's bright green...

the B&M instructions say to remove it - but that's part of the process to get the shifter out and put in their new shifter kit..but i never see any info to say to put it back in...

since my new housing has a spot for this thing, i am assuming it's supposed to be there, and i'm supposed to transplant it off the old hosuing onto the new one...

did you guys keep this part? does it really do anyhthing? shoudl I remove it and NOT use it on the new shifter?

the passenger side shift cable seems to rest on it - but so did my stock one..not sure if that is good/bad... i have rowed through the gears and there is no sticking or problems..it seems to shift into each gear fine...
