1). The shifter seems to hit a hard stop in 2nd and 4th gear, but not in 1,3,5 (as mentioned by others). I realize some modification w/ a dremel can be performed, but it seems like a little better desing could have been employed to avoid this issue.




...forget the Dremel, your shift cable (with the WHITE
end) needs adjustment!

I don't know how many times I hear people messing this up!...Understand HOW the cables and stoc shifter work first....Running with the cables incorrectly adjusted will screw up shifter forks and syncros in a very short time...(buy a CD from todras!)



I left the sring out and after 4 years of driving the car cant say i have had a problem.
Also i too had the dreaded shifter "bottom out" on 2nd and 4th. It shifted okay normaly and it wouldnt bottom out. But when i shifted real hard or fast the cable would strech just a bit. it would bottom out and sometimes it would cause me to miss the shift. Anyways Todras is right you need to jack up the car get a friend to help and adjust the end link. Its pretty easy to do. takes a little time but well worth it.
