Jason,
I'm pretty sure the crossmember has to go, everyone I talk to mentions this first. Doesn't sound like a fun job but how hard can it be?

According to the pet, the connectors are on the cable trans end. The shifter end connectors are two seperate P/N's, assume purchased as seperate items. Also lists two "threaded pins", a "securing clip", "oval-head screw" and a partridge in a pear tree. I don't know how up to date this drawing is, I could reference these P/N's but can't assure correct re: up to date, item numbers. I 'd be happy to send these numbers, as a reference, if you think it might help.

 

Thanks... Could you send me these part numbers...
Any info is better than none!

Crossmember shouldnt be too hard... However, if you dont have a lift, then everything is always harder than it has to be!

Thanks,

Just one other thing guys...

To remove the centre console, do you need to remove the RHS front seat. (I have the euro type non adjustable seats)


Thanks,

Jason

 

I have removed both seats and need to remove the carpet also, any tips..?

 

You don't need to remove the seat(s) to remove the center console. In my cars this always worked fine with both the non-adjustable and the standard seats and the Tequipment bar installed.

Rickard did you buy those cables new ? The updated cup cables are not green and gray. they are blue and gray. i have both.

 

My cables just came in today, grey and blue.

 

Yup that's what you want. I still have the green ones too but I will keep those as spares for the spares : )

 

Do you have a part numbers for the cables? Thanks.

 

No i bought them used

What is the diffrecen of them

 

the green version is not a thick as the Blue. probably ok for your car but i swapped mine out to the newer ones to be safe.

 

Put my car on the lift today to check out the cable install. Looks like a 2-3 hour job, barring any happenstances. Less with an extra pair of hands. Now if it ever stops snowing. Geese, I'm getting fed up with this weather. Looks like I'll have to go to the opening day at the Glen on a snowmobile.

 

As for weather Is it sens to use cups, even if it is dry or just street tires? I going for autocross next weekend. Could be dry but temp 35-50' F. What your views. Sorry about offtopic.

 

Cold ambient temps make it difficult to get much traction. I have to be a bit careful when driving on the street, PS2's, when the temps are below, lets say 55 deg f. May want to lower air pressures a bit for an autocross or get the tires warmed up somehow. A little exercise for the tires before you make your runs, might help. Consider your brakes as well, they like some heat in them also. Interesting question, cold PS2's vs cold cups. What da you guys think?

i think they both suck in the cold. keep the car in the garage and take up drinking and telling stories : )
