(And the newest revision if you know it.) Does the newest jackshaft only come with the April 2004 kit or was it updated before that? 2002 BMW M5 Carbon Black on Black 1998 Frost Silver SVT E0 17" Masitaly rims with Bridgestone Fuzion ZRi rubber. 133,000km 1996 Silver Ford Taurus SHO ATX 180,000km - SOLD! 1996 Midnight Red SE MTX 295,000km and a little squeeky.

You can easily see which version you have: Here is the new one New one before install I don't have a good pic of the old one, but it doesn't have that big black sleeve for the shaft bearing. The sleeve may still be black, but is alot shorter. If you send me a pic of yours I can tell which one you have, assuming that's why you are asking. 99 V6 Mercury Cougar Vortech Supercharged

The newest is completely different type of coupler.

I never was a fan of short-throws but I've recently been considering it. Not because I think they'll help me shift faster, but because I put in a DVD player and the shifter is in the way for backseat passengers. Stazi: I was the SC/d Cougar you stomped May 26th 2003 Compuware Event Anastazi: 41.004 Brad: 41.482 You should come to more events next year. There are only 2-3 contours and maybe 2 other Cougars that show up. I'm sick of seeing Neons and Hondas everywhere. 99 V6 Mercury Cougar Vortech Supercharged

Can you tell just from looking at it? Mine looks the same as KnuKoncepts from the pics. Should i call Vortec and see if they will upgrade the jackshaft? It's brand new.
