Benitom: Cool, tell me how you like it (I hope you do!)


Looks like the shifters will be there tomorrow, and the bearings too, so everything should be done before next Monday!!

Thanks guys!
Ben.

Took the Boxster out for a spin last night - very happy with the results. I thought it would take me a while to get acclimated but the stiffness is not a draw back to me at all. I have the same thoughts others have mentioned. Feels like a new car - when you put it in gear feels like you insert it into a slot, very precise. My wife also mentioned my shifts feel much smoother from a passenger perspective.

One thing I did notice...my driveway has a small incline when backing out into the street. When in gear reversing my car would make a significant noise, sounded like it was coming from the transmission. Sounded like a buzzing noise. After installing the new shifter the sound in gone. I didn't think too much of it before since it's a 98 and cars do creak over time.
