Changing Gears

Like I said in my last post I finally got the parts I ordered. Well, seeing as the exhaust was off from the headers back I figured I would start with the shifter refresh. I got a lot more off than I thought. In fact, I got all the shifter components off. I'm stoked I got all the parts off, but not the fact that I didn't order replacement parts for everything.

Brand new guibo, but half the bolts are pointing the wrong direction. I'll fix that when I start putting everything back together.

Center Support Bearing looks brand new and there is minimal to no play in the universal joints.

I recorded a video using my spiffy new phone (Galaxy S III) to record a video. The front part of the drive shaft clicks a bit. I'm not sure if that's normal or not. The play is very minimal, maybe 1-2mm? I don't think it is anything to worry about.

Most of the components out with a side by side comparison of new vs old.

Hold the front of the selector rod.
