Thread: Shifter

  1. #1

    Default Shifter

    I took shifter the boot off my 99 CSVT and i noticed the Torx screws were loose. But I also noticed that I only had 2 of the Torx screws and there are 4 holes. My question is if there are suppose to be two or four of those Torx screws. Thank you

    think it might have been one of those things cut back on to save money ... both our 99s only had 2 bolts ...

    There was only 2 in my 2000, though I went to a hardware store and got 4 new ones with the same thread, length, and phillips head.

    Same here, had to get four new ones that were longer for the riser plate! But my 98.5 SVT had 4 ones on the stock shifter when I took it out.
