Glad it's working out for you but how did you manage to do it in 5 minutes??
Me and my wife just got out there, bent the metal plate and gave the quadrant 3 clicks, she held the clutch for me. Really easy and quick. Didn't take out the front seat. I'm 6ft 150lbs so it wasn't a problem fitting in front of the seat. Its a 2001 cobra.. don't know how much of a difference, if any, that there is from my car and the 03-04s down there.
But I thought it was my synchros... so when this worked, I was insanely happy and thankful to you sir!
