Couple oddball questions for everyone...
 

I read a post about adding a spring to gate the 1-2 shift positions, how is this done?

Also,
My carrera is a cab, so why do i have the rear defrost knob next to my fog light knob above my stereo? It lights up when i pull it, but i dont hear anything happen. If it's not used, i may make it a kill switch to prevent theft.

The spring trick for the 915 shifter is in this thread.

I did it and love it. My shifter is a customized by piece made from factory bits.



The defrost knob, I believe, is standard even if you don't have the function. Good idea on teh killl switch. SHow us what you come up with. :)

I installed the spring and love what it's done for the "feel" of my shifter.

check out this thread. I've been meaning to do gunter's spring mod.

"Oh haha", the link didnt work, it only brought up a search...

Sorry about that.
haiycait911 posted the one I was trying to do.

Here are some pics of my shifter with the spring added. I went a step further and used some shrink-wrap to quiet the "springy" noise as it moves around. Almost silent now.

Do you have a heated windshield or heated mirrors?

You won't hear them working by the way.

Hmmmm. What does a defroster sound like when it's on? :)

It sounds like fewer engine RPMS.
