    Just finished installing the upgraded cable bushings to finish off the entire shift setup and boy, the short shifter does wonders when paired with the upgraded bushings. Absolutely love it.

      @Mikie Jones short through shifter with upgraded cable shifter bushings, shift knob and upgraded shift boot collar.

    • @KalubOwen

      @Mikie Jones just gets rid of the crappy plastic OEM one, mainly for looks but also makes everything thing look flush from the shift knob to the boot.

    • @KalubOwen

      @Mikie Jones that's correct

    • @KalubOwen
      @KalubOwen 4 роки тому

      @Mikie Jones everything is included with the stage 3 kit. All acuity every thing. As far as what a shop would charge, not worth trying to take it to one. I'm telling you right now this is a much easier install than what you think it is. Save your money on labor bro.

    Thanks for the review! Just one thing, I heard a lot of drone from the cabin even with your window up, so just wondering if you had muffler delete at the time? Or what’s the exhaust… I would definitely avoid this myself
