Yes, the front latch above the rear view mirror.

Default Function First Bearing Shifter Kit?

Hey there - I'm curious how you like the Function First Bearing Shifter Kit? I've driven Spyders with the Numeric Shifter Kit but I find it a bit TOO extreme, too stiff and notchy.

Please share your thoughts.

When I got the Spyder the shifter was very stiff/hard in the movement of the shifter but shifted into gear as should. Looking through the paperwork the previous owner complained about it for several years, I bought new factory cables and FF retrofit kit because I did not want to spend the money on the Numeric kit. After installing the new parts the shifter was still very hard, Jones Autowerks in San Antonio found a bad bushing on the flywheel looking thing on the derivers side of the transmission. Shift perfect now, the movement is very smooth with a slight click going into and out of each gear. Driving my 991.1 and Spyder back to back I would not spend the money to covert my 991.1.
