    Cheaper too!

    Have you done suspension yet?
    I would do the first after all the maintenance bugs are worked out!
    Spend the money and do nice springs and shocks!

      MCoupe shift arm! Works on the m42, but you have to space the trans down so it dosent contact the driveshaft

        Thanks for the responses. I forgot to mention that one (possibly two) of my wheels is bent to shit due to a couple off assholes putting black cinder blocks in the road right over a hill. Steering wheel gives a pretty good massage around 30+mph... I'd love to buy some suspension stuff, but at the moment I need to find another job to pay for that...

          if you can still shift, go with wheels.. whatever is worste off replace first..

          and screw oem.. if you ever have to replace anything..go aftermarket and buy a better more performance oriented part since you have to anyways...

          totalled...sad sad day....

                  I agree. Also, I recommend using the UUC delrin shift carrier bushing as the stock rubber one will wear out very quickly.

                    my 20 y/o bmw was mostly original. Including control arms. Anything that can hold up for 20 years and a quarter of a million miles is pretty sturdy in my book. plus nothing fits like oem. german oem anyway. screw hondas :finger:

                        hey if your wheels are bent bad enough to massage ya at 30 you need the wheels badly...way more than you need a tight shifter...i say get the wheels...then save up $80 and build a ssk like the rest of us with oem parts
