Go back to the engine forum. Look down to about the 6th thread that reads Official Manuel Transmission Thread. There's enough reading to choke a hippo but dive right in and you might find your answer.
In short, is the Short Throw Shifter one of those things that needs to be swapped out with the OEM shifter before going to a dealership?
Maybe this is a stupid question but I cant find anywhere that sells the Tic bushings? What website do you buy them from or do they come with the TWM short shifter?
BTW-had my tranny replaced about 2 weeks ago and so far its running GREAT. new tranny and new fluid. (crossing my fingers)
