This happens most often under hard acceleration and when I'm making a turn. No grinding or anything of ths sort. It doesn't seem to be a synchro issue.

Default Here are ToyGuy's instructions for short shifter install - they detail how to

adjust it... angles, how it should feel, etc...

The frames and ads stink. I would recommend copying it and pasting into Word or something.<ul><li><a href="http://www.toyguy.o-f.com/ssi.html">http://www.toyguy.o-f.com/ssi.html</a></li></ul>

Default I don't know if there are differences with a stock shifter... maybe your car is telling you

it is time to upgrade to a SS... :P
