Thanks guys!!
I forgot to add my short shifter modification.
Since I can't buy a JHM Short Shifter right now. I looked at my old short shifter and figure out how to make it function better. The biggest weak part of the OEM is the play that the shifter has. So I thought of how I can make it to not have that play and at the same time save money.
So what I did is put the pivot in the shifter assembly with a little grease, then I add red hi temp silicone sealant, (I can remember what brand I used, but I'm sure any of them will work) and compressed it in between the gaps both the upper part and then I turned it around and did the same. Just make sure it doesn't get in where the pivot is. The last step I did was get another large internal retaining ring and I installed the 2 retaining ring instead of just the one that would have. It's a little hard to expain, the way I intalled the 2 rings, install one the way you would normally install the ring then the other ring I installed it upside down, so they grab on to each other. After that I put a little more of the hi temp sealant and I let it dry. I would say to let it dry for 24hrs.
I still didn't install it but I noticed a big difference. It's a lot sturdier.
If you decide to do this it'll be at your own risk, I'm not responsible. I hope this helps.
