IDS new thread with question
I had the dealer install the IDS today. Gone is the 5th gear clatter so I'm (sort of) happy and even though they didn't charge me for the labor, I think $300 plus tax is robbery.
Anyway, here's my question for those of you who installed the IDS yourself. Why would the mechanic have to re-position my shift lever? I have a heel-toe shifter and now after the IDS install, the rear (outside) shift lever is angled way too high compared to the way it was before the job. No biggie really because I plan to fix it tonight when I get home from work but I was just wondering if any of you knew of some weird reason the shift lever would even be removed for this job.

I bet he pulled the primary cover off thinking it went in there. Not surprising at all for a Stealer Tech!!
