Trey,

Try and see if you can find a slightly taller shift ****. Most aftermarket ***** are adjustable in height so you should be able to gain some leverage. I suggest getting something weighted (ideally metal). If will give you more feel and will look better in your wheat-colored interior.

The key to shifting well is consistency.

For those of you that don't need to push the clutch pedal to the floor to shift, tape a few blocks of wood to the bottom of your clutch pedal to limit the downward travel. This will help to make your shifting more accurate and controllable.

There are other, more elegant ways to do this, but it works and is cheap...

No offense and all, but I just dont think that I will be placing pieces of wood beneath my clutch pedal.

Sometimes it also helps to look at the date of certain threads, as this one was pretty old!

No offense taken, but it's a good old trick to make shifting more consistent...

I saw the date, no one suggested this, so I did... maybe it will help someone else...
