Ball bearing short shifter !

[Ben006]

Done

I installed a shifter today!
Took me around an hour

few tips:
-To remove the center console, it's better it the hand brake is a bit loose: it has to go high. You can also engage the 4th gear, you'll have more room to remove it.
-Get that: SureBilt/4 pcs. seal and O-Ring remover set 82030 - Read Reviews on SureBilt #82030
It can be used to remove the lower section of the mid console, pry the shift boot and access the screw hidden under the coin holder!
Trust me, it will save you a LOT of time!
-Use zip ties to mark the position of the cables in their holders, and use bigger zip ties to hold the spring compressed when you put the cable back in:

I have had my 99 3.4 for almost 2 years now but just now finding some time to work on, get back to the forum and discovered both of the Ben threads. Ben your enthusiasm is impressive!

PM me and let me know what info you need, I want a shifter from the next round. I haven't turned a wrench much in the last thirty years but did enjoy replacing the rotors, pads and sensors last week.

Still trying to education myself about induction options and what will work best for my 3.4. Currently the throttle response is not very smooth and I am sure there is a way to get more out of it without spending a fortune.

Thanks
