Thread: Ya know what sucks?

    Default Ya know what sucks?

    Removing MTX shift linkage with no idea what you're doing. I pulled the shift tower and linkage out of my wrecked SVT parts car for IcySVT today and damn it's a major PITA!!! As much fun as I had pullin' 'em out, I don't envy Icy's future installation!

    Actually, I broke a lot of things! The good thing is, though, none of them were parts he needed. I smashed the bajeebus outta the lower HVAC duct that goes into the floor. Apparantly, the only tools you need to remove the MTX shift tower and linkages are a pry bar, a 3" cutting wheel on a 18V drill, and a random piece of metal with a sharp edge on it.

    so the linkage won't work or at least the ends are different. I got it fixed the side to side cable came off. I'll have to figure out what i need to order and get it done by the weekend huh?

    from the looks of things the 98 is a little more different than thought at first from the 99-00 models. Oh well. I'll get it fixed one way or another. Thanks for the effort Eric. Oh yeah when you want to swap grills?????

    Any time. I'm gonna hack your's up and paint it. I think out of all different grills I've had, I like this one the best:



    I don't know if I'll put a badge on it or not. My wife's grill came with a little 'Kamei' emblem:



    I just need to have her grill painted; and that black mesh is steel and the whole grill (brand new in the box) was only $45 off ebay. Why can't we have cool parts readily availible?
