Plus you'll have to drop the subframe. 2000 SVT #674 - Check it out! Whoever coined the phrase; "If it ain't broke; don't fix it" ~ Just doesn't get it...

B&M makes shift kits for many cars. Once you know what you want, shop around. I just ordered a shift kit for an older van. One on line source wanted $110.00 for it, but I found another site that had it for less than $30.00 including shipping. Jim Johnson 98 SVT
