Short shifter 😀

Installed the $59 eBay short shifter. Just took a test drive and it feels good. Makes the factory one feel as loose as my old Mustang. Now if I can just get it all put back together.

I believe you're supposed to flip the shaft. If you don't, it's going to be leaning very far left.

I didn't see your post until I put the console back in 😭 and there's noooo way I'm gonna worry about it right now. If it wasn't for taking out and putting back that damn console it would if been a breeze. I'll fix it in a few weeks when I get up the energy. For now Ill just name my car Ilene 😉
Doesn't really feel bad driving it. If you wouldn't of mentioned it I probably wouldn't of noticed it for awhile.

This morning I took it all apart again (Console was alot easier to take out this time). Not just to flip the shifter but to adjust, lube and TIGHTEN everything. Flipped the handle, drove it and flipped it back ��. I guess I got used to it leaning to the left a little. Tight is better also.

Love the upgrade ��
