Put some Redline Shockproof in the Tranny.

Can't understand why a person who had a heelshifter would not use it ....
Just don't get it.

if it dont have a heel shifter on it , i dont think you will be happy with one.. i wasnt .... it took too much floorboard space from me... plus i never figured out how to operate it,,, i didnt like tipi toing on the floorboard... easier to just raise toe than the hole foot

Well I just got to thinking and I think it was set up with a heel toe. Would explain the Chrome ring between the shifter and tranny housing that is rattling around. thats annoying hearing that all day. I do agree on the floorboard space I dont think I would like it.
