Before you Tightning down the shifter put it in 5th gear to line it up. Then tighten it down in 5th gear. That should take car of it.

Greg

Also Just received another shipment so if anyone else wants one let me know.

Use both the OEM and the Blue plate then leave both of them loose till you put it in to 5th then tighten that sucker up.


in-stock and fresh off of back order we only have a few of them here 26 to be exact

Well, I just got it installed. I didn't think the shifter could get any shorter, but damn...this throw is MUCH shorter. I am a very happy customer, thanks Greg, now how about that supercharger kit?

Hmm...I don't have any rattling. What are you doing when you're noticing it, what speed, etc...
