ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)

Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

The rules for the overall forum can be found here:

Read them. You will be expected to follow them.

          There are a couple of thin plastic bushings on the shifter linkages. If you were to replace these with slightly thicker plastic or rubber bushings, that will stiffen up the shifts somewhat and give it a better feel.

          I have added extra plastic bushing to mine and it helps.

                ok stupid question from me. How do you get off the knob and boot to do all of this? Also where do you get the bushings at?

                  Factory shift knob? Just grab where the boot meets the knob, not the knob, and pull down. Sometimes it takes some force but it just snaps into the shift knob. Once you get it separated you'll be like, DUH. At least I was. You'll have to remove the console to get to the bolts though. Shouldn't be too difficult depending on your console. Several phillips head screws on the sides.
