Sounds like best results would be for someone with a TT linkage and maybe get those aluminum bushings from the Vortex article too.

Our shifters do feel sloppy as hell.

Also, I know that C1 installed motor mounts when doing my exhaust, does anyone know if they did a transmission mount at the same time? Lots of good feedback on the Turn 2 tranny mount.

Edit: I took a look at my transmission arm thingies and they DO look kind of crappy, like in the pictures in that link.

Re: Shifting Enhancements

The O2J trannies are the 5sp correct? I found the shifting in my 6sp (what ever model that is) to be just fine. I might try this out if I'm bored one day though!

$19.95 each on IMPEX, can't be to much more at the stealership.

Once you put in the new ones, you can clean and glue your old ones and sell them to someone on here, probably get some money back.

I might just do the ones I have. Not sure if that glue they talk about can be found around here though?

Re: Shifting Enhancements

I have something similar to this stuff in my garage, so I would assume that its available around here. I would be up for buying the done ones from someone, but I don't think I have the guts to try it.

Yep, the 5 speed is an O2J, the 6 speed is an O2M.

Mmmmm....... I love O2M.

I have some of these in stock, really easy to fit (I can help of course )and a nice cheap mod for better shifting.
