Definitely. My car is going into the shop on Saturday for an oil change and some nit picky items until at least Monday or Tuesday so in the next couple of weeks for sure. Any cars and coffee coming up?

GR installed. Pretty easy job as long as you can get car up a bit to have more space under the car. Also use drill to take off/on bunch of screws that hold the cover.

Shifting precision is much better, once you take out the original rod you will understand where the play comes from.

One issue I'm having is the first gear is so smooth it pops out (only 1st). It appears I should have adjusted the lever position (via front rod), which I didn't do.

Today, I did 250 miles of driving and very happy with it. Shifts are crisp, certain and precise.
