RE: Best $65.00's spent yet
I paid $40.00 for the adapter and $15.00 for the Steeda bushings. Everything was a total of $65.00 shipped.

The Hurst shifter is a waste of money. If you are going to go to the trouble of replacing the shifter, then replace it with a real shifter. Not an exact duplicate of the stock shifter with a shorter throw.
As for the Saleen adaptor, guys, shop around. You can get it cheaper than $65 bucks. Hell, when I bought mine ( pre Pro 5.0 days ) I paid $40 bucks for it shipped.

Would you mind clarifying for me? All the adapters and everything you guys are talking about are for A/T's right? If so, do you recommend any inexpensive upgrades for a manual (on an 05 GT)? Or aren't there any. Mine seems a little firm... like it moderately resists going into gear on each shift... normal?
Just wondering. Thanks.

OH.. ok. Thanks for clarifying. So would you recommend that mod for a rookie shadetree'er? I'm fairly confident behind a wrench... just get a little nervous when comes to messing with the transmission, linkage, etc. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated (as usual).

my daddy always said automatics were for GIRLS and guys that CANT DRIVE! i prefer to kick it and stick it when the tach says so - not the computer lol. besides - the grand or so you save buying a manual can be spent on MODS!

No offense to your daddy...but it is pretty obvious that your daddy never drove a sub 10 second car or he wouldn't be saying that.
