Shifted perfectly on jack stands!! Went to drive it and it would hit the driveshaft in second . Looks like I have to bend the shifter. Also it's really really hard to get it into Reverse. I no longer have that "gate" feeling that stops you from shifting into reverse. __________________ | | | 06-16-2011, 11:54 PM | #1488 | Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2009 Location: Detroit Posts: 164 | Quote: Originally Posted by adamud Installed my new Z3M shifter with ultra bent selector rod..

Havent looks too closely but it looks like the exhaust and driveshaft has to come out to get to the linkage | | | 06-17-2011, 01:02 AM | #1489 | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: asdfasdf Posts: 10,002 | phase one complete $400 picked up if anyone wants it, comes with the never installed rear bumper | | | 06-17-2011, 03:20 AM | #1490 | Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2005 Location: Detroit, MI Posts: 585 | Just got it all fixed up. I'll start a thread or add to an old one with pictures I look of the bending process. I had to end up bending everything... __________________ | | | 06-17-2011, 04:01 AM | #1491 | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2010 Location: Oakland Posts: 187 | I balanced my wheels, also found out my right rear tire has 40% less tread than the other three.

You don't have to remove anything else to take the shift lever or the selector rod off. It just takes a little patience and some cussing. The clip that attaches the selector rod to the transmission is the same as the one that attaches the shift lever to the selector rod. They'll both pop right off with a little persuasion from a screwdriver. If you want to remove the shifter carrier, it can get a little more complicated but you shouldn't need to do that to just remove the shift lever or selector rod. Make sense? | | | 06-17-2011, 11:22 PM | #1493 | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: norcal - 94590 Posts: 3,186 | Passenger rear shock came off its lower perch. Somehow the shocks rubber bushing worked its way off the bolt sleeve and bolt. Turns out there was no washer on the lower bolt... Grrrr... Pressed the sleeve back into the bushing and remounted the shock. All seems well now. __________________ James 95 active w/leather interior and sport interior conversion, Vaders, full M-Tech exterior conversion.

Used them to replace the larger of the two speakers in the front doors. The oem speakers I replaced are about the size of a one inch tweeter. Used a dremel tool and heavy duty hot glue to fabricate housings made from oem plastic mounting parts and to mount the new speakers. I was able to keep the oem grills. The sound is noticeably better. If anyone would like more detailed information about this mod, just pm me. | | | 06-18-2011, 03:49 PM | #1497 | Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2009 Location: Detroit Posts: 164 | Quote: Originally Posted by bullmand Make sense? | Yup Got the whole linkage rebuild kit in this box.
