I went to JoAnne fabrics and bought a yard of black suede to replace the bolster. I actually work at seat company, so I already have a friend working on the bolster.

short shifter

By davidomalley
- Mon Apr 22, 2013 2:28 am #330822 The sloppiness of my OEM shifter was very annoying. Since the install the shifts are crisper, shorter, and very tight.

Do you feel any different with new shifter compared to old one?

By davidomalley
- Mon Apr 22, 2013 5:27 pm #330855 huge difference. the shifts are about 25 to 40% shorter, and the stiffness of the side to side is minimal. my OEM 20 yr old shifter was sloppy. I thought it was my trans.

i am thoroughly impressed with the shifter feel, sturdiness, and shorter throws.

Highly recommended.
