Eric,

I don't seem to be very mod lucky these days. I got the shifter in and buttoned up except for the pin that keeps the reverse lockup piece from turning. I was trying to hammer it in when it fell off into never never land. I temporarily have it zip tied until I can get to the hardware store and A-team something together.

As far as driving impressions, I definitely like the short throw. The thing I don't like is that now I have increased effort getting the shifter into gear. I am running without the centering spring and the Steeda helper string. Could this be the cause of the increased effort? I do miss how the shifter used to just slip into gear.

I'm also wondering if the increased effort has anything to do with momentarily not being able to move the shifter sideways as I posted in a previous post. Is there some sort of cable adjustment I can do?

Thanks,
