Hey, i ordered a b&m short shift, they were outta stock and sent me a ralco RZ same year and basically close to the same thing but refunded my difference. Down fall is, i cant get it in on my own. do you know any places i can look.

everywhere has them for hondas and a few more for subarus and mitsus. i cant find one with out buying a 30$ something or paying 15$ there.

Can anyone help me?

1) take off knob + boot
2) remove nuts... (one is hard to reach)
3) ..
i got stuck here, with seeing how to get it completly i didnt wanna risk not driving to work the other night.

remove center console
disconnect shift linkage

Replace old parts with the new ones.

i only have the directions for the 00-05 j-body's and i know they are really different.

i love it, i need some more lube on it to smooth it out but i can get it tmorrow. the ralco does work nicely. way more than a 25% difference
