[QUOTE="Cman01, post: 16188516, member: 138028"] Today after work I got the stock shifter out, yesterday I started working on it and got the inside stuff done. A few years ago I had removed the stock shifter to install solid bushings in the support arms so this time removing it was a cinch. I had to pull apart my Blowfish Racing shifter bracket and this time I also had to remove the shift selector arm and have the car ready for the Gen 2 install. Couple things gave me a bit of grief, the driver's pin was hard to get at so I spent a bunch of time on that before it came free and removing that bolt for the selector arm was a ****ing bitch. Can't really see it and getting a wrench up there was a PITA. My 10mm ratcheting wrench isn't very long so once I broke the bolt free it was stupid tiny revolutions for like forever until you pass that certain point when the bolt would spin nice with the wrench. I need a longer ratcheting wrench or when I reinstall that bolt I might try a socket with a U-joint. I will pick up the Gen 2 tomorrow in Buffalo after work, I'll start the install Friday (3 day weekend). I want to get it in ASAP but I'm not going to rush so I will be examining the parts and mock up stuff before the install. I'm planning for a Sunday completion but if I go into early next week to get this done I'm still in good shape. [ATTACH=full]1570210[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1570211[/ATTACH] Tony [/QUOTE]
