well i didnt put it on, it was on when i bought the car, its been real rough getting into third and reverse lately, i put a new clutch in and the guy at the shop said it was the shifter that was the problem...but how do you take the bolts off...i cant find a wrech that fits them (theyre not really bolts, theyre black thngs with a lot of rivets on the edges)

Hmmmm it could be that the stop bolt on the shifter are preventing you from going all the way into third... And I have heard rumors about shortshifters "damaging" transmission. I don't know if there is any truth to this however...

to be honest 5.0 shifters are the worst short shifters ive ever delt with. Sure there a little bit shorter then stock but there are by far better shifters out there (steeda tri-ax, mgw)
