    For the people wondering why I 'copied' ChrisFix, I had my content recorded on October 22nd, but only got around to editing the video now. If you like the video for what its worth, awesome. Otherwise, if you don't like how we both covered the same topic, than don't watch it. Its as simple as that. *RANT OVER*

      Good video Milan, it don't matter what you do In your videos you'll always have some people bring out the negatives in your videos, with all honesty though who cares if makes a video on the same topic.

    I installed a Hurst short shifter in my 2004 Dodge Neon SRT all done from the top also replaced the bushings with Booger poly.Fantastic 👍

  • @Niras20
    @Niras20 7 років тому

    People are complaining that you copied ChrisFix. I'm watching ChrisFix also, but I find this more usefull because I own a Golf mk4. So it's much simplier to watch this video. Btw exactly as you told golf is the worst scenario because you need to go underneath. In my case I watched this video because i've got a lot of "no accurate" shifts and i will be replacing the shift shaft bushings. Nice video, helped me a lot.

    Saw ChrisFix's video on this and thought about doing it to my car. Thankfully, you made this video because I drive a Golf IV and I would've been so confused why nothing works the way it did for Chris :D
    So thanks for saving me a lot of trouble ;)
