Got my spring in the mail last week. I just put it in along with some fresh bushings. It is great. Thanks Karsten!
Also, this was a factory short shifter, I had an extra stick - I cut it right after the bend and welded it on. Tall stick now!
I have an extra tall rennshifter with a top mount knob on my other car and this feels pretty close to it! Can't wait to take it for a spin tomorrow.
