The only concern I have is ther is a more than normal amount of heat around the outer dust boot. Is this normal? I had to use a new inner dust boot they provided my with with doesn't fully cover the area wher the tranny is located at like the stock one did. I feel like that may be allowing more heat to pass thru but not sure. Any input would help. Thanks

 

Normal. The stock one for some reason has some sort of isolation to keep that from happening. My MGW gets hot, but you get used to it. Glad to see you got the old one off, How did you finally do it.

 

A crowbar lol. Pulled up on it and held it as hard as I could and the shifter just peeled off.

 

Nice! Enjoy the new toy!

 

Told ya you just needed a bigger tool! Hahaha

 

Hahaha exactly man you would have laughed if you could have seen the $hit I used to try and get that thing off with
