          ^This is incorrect information. You can put an 6 peed knob on a 5 speed tranny, but you'll loose reverse, and 1st gear will become 3rd, and what is marked as 6 will become hyper-drive.

          Hope that helps.

              if she goes for that, astroglide up your pole, have her lay on her stomach and slip it in slowly and bury it to your balls and leave it there until she relaxes. once she is used to it slam that ass like a screen door.

                      the benefits go up 3 fold when you also slap a V-tech sticker on your valve cover.

                        even more so if you put a turbo badge on the grille.

                          Yes, and also if you install it upside down, you now have a dogleg transmission.

                          Enjoy!
