hummm (adds that to his list of things to get) might have to pick one up later I missed 3rd once or twice out of the 5 or 6 runs, not a good ratio.

Yea I don't miss shifts anymore.

You can achieve the same desired result with a new set of motor mounts instead of the k-member brace and limiters...but i thought the brace would be easier to put in, so that's what i bought.

I think your right, adding a brace underneath has to be easier than messing with the motor mounts. plus if it's anything like my older cars once you put in stiffer motor mounts you gain a lot of vibration and noise.
