Best advice I can give is:-*NEVER force the shift lever...if its very hard to move ...stop and try it stationary.*If you have an early(pre 2000 trans)with the alloy shifter 'tower' have the tower removed and the 'pinch' bolt in the vertical shift rod replaced...if this goes 1)you will loose all gears/be stuck in one gear 2)The head of the bolt can and does ,get jammed between the crown wheel and the gear case and punches a hole thru the trans...then its toast! *You can 'retrofit' the latest 2000+ trans shifter tower(around $300) will also need the new rev lamp switch,a jumper to hook it up to existing harness,the plastic cover and breather tube,shorter retaing bolts..this is THE best way to improve the shift and safeguard your trans ...apart from a Quaife aswell....happy wrenching!!!
