Default AMS SS install complete! :) review and questions...

The install took about 2.5 hrs, and was not overly complicated, but did have a frustrating point:
The dowell pin was a bitch to change on the shift shaft, and drove me crazy, took about 45mins to deal with!

Being a broke college student, it kinda sucked to spend 50 bucks on tools for just this install.. i wish i was at home and had access to tools!

I did notice this so called "notchyness" although its not that bad...
my shifts are now very short, i put it on the C hole, and they are short, and quick
My car is also much more fun to drive now and i reccomend this mod to anyone who drives a manual
Overall, not such a bad process, it was nice to learn more about my car, save some money, and have some damn good results

final questions:

The shifter is leaning a little to the right, and its a little hard to engage 5th and R. how do i adjust?

also how do i attach the momo **** to the shift boot?

Cheers!
