No there was no click or anything, it just sits down there, and the ball slides into the cup, i mean you cant really put it in wrong

I dunno, i think at the time it was all advance auto had, and i was tired of not having the car back together.

Does your vibration go away if you put the clutch in? I had my driveshaft out of balance, and I felt it through the shifter...didnt feel it anywhere else except in the shifter..i dont think anything is wrong with your shifter, but rather something else is out of whack

Yea its a big handle, but i like it, ive got the short handle that came with the shifter from adder, so i may throw that on and see if i like the difference..but so far i really like the shifter alot, no more missed gears!!

put it in gear and hold it down, bring the stop up and touch the handle, then back it off a full turn

no it vibrates even when i have the clutch down. the car doesnt shake or anhything it still feels solid just the shifter vibrates.

Ryan, just to let you know, the t-5's have internal shift stops. You can take the ones out of your shifter if you want and not worry about it. Or adjust themlike Primetime said.

Yea id check the driveshaft, i just had the problem...no vibration in the car or anything, but a real bad one in the shifter...clock the driveshaft and see if the vibration changes at all

AdderMk2

I like it alot man...i still think i may need to adjust those shift stops some, but it shifts real nice...oddly right after i installed it, i got this like tapping noise...that is always there when driving, but it will go away if i rest my foot on the clutch..not press it in, but just rest my foot on it with light pressure..(possible throwout bearing you think?)

And yes, in very good shape...pain in the a$$ finding those bolts though haha
