i have a real important question regarding the 'obx short throw shifter'... did anyone else that has this, have to use their parts from the stock shifter to the new one?... the first problem that i ran into when installing this was that when i was putting back all the rings to hold the shifter in, the was very very tight.. kinda like a virgin... but anyways.. i had to use the plastic ring that was above the ball and that box-lookin thing so it wouldnt be so tight... if anyone has some insight of what im talking about, please reply so i noe im not the only one that had to use some stock parts in an aftermarket product... thanks in advace..
