Noobs, it's all built into the BB code to recognize and generate those "previews". AFAIK, there isn't a way around it.

2100, I've always liked the integrated nut style better, particularly if the nut is loose like our factory CV nuts. 7/8-20 is pretty common, do have have any axle/driveline shops around you can call and see if they stock them?

Brew... yeah, that passenger looked like they've been through some $4it with that driver in the past, LOL. "Let me get out and look" happened a couple times there too, lmao.

EDIT: I found out that this stick is still available for 50 dollars new. I put it in The Eight Nine, and it's quite a bit shorter on the throw now. Might have to switch back though because using the Saleen bushing in the stock handle with the B&M base is causing an interference issue.





Also forgot to post a pic of my new Buddy (haven't used it yet though).

Hey, White... Aren't those bushings intended to be between the handle and the base portion to move the stick a little closer to the driver? FWIW, mine didn't have those, but I'm 6'2",so reach wasn't an issue. I did install a thin bit of rubber, though, to help with shifter buzz.

EDIT: looking more closely, it looks like that wouldn't work, either, because of how short the B&M's stub is. Why not just use shorter bolts and ditch them altogether?

Saleen installed them just like I have them. The stock bolt head, as I recall, would go right through the hole. I'll have to look again.

Did yours have the rubber isolator/bushing setup from the factory?

On a different note, I wonder how long I'll keep getting these emails before Photobucket just deletes my account (or maybe contractually they can't?).

LOL, I must have marked those as spam. I don't get them anymore.

I paid a couple bucks for an extension that downloaded all of my pics and put them in my Google Drive, then said goodbye.

LOL.... I hadn't logged in there for a very long time, so just for the beans of it, I just tried. I got this message:



And now I remember.... this would not allow me to delete my content. It keeps giving me an error message. Bastards got us by the nuts.

I just went and picked up a new throw out bearing retainer at Transtar. I went through my stash and found a couple throw out bearings and pilot bearings.... also have a King Cobra clutch kit in my stash.... I might save that for the 351 though.

I might only do the throw out bearing.... the clutch, although I don't like it, works fine.

The company pushed a mandatory update to my laptop today. Now I'm getting random reboots and BSOD. Great.
