    Perrect, that's the expensive part. I've been using a $10 hf gun believe it or not. The more expensive devilbiss I have needs more air than my compressor can supply

      Here's a little diagram that helps illustrate the shifter operation





      Made a bracket to mount the shifter plate





      Modded some set screws for smoother operation, then found out "ball bearing" set screws are a thing so those arrive today





      Also rounded out the end of the pin a bit again for smoother operation





      Started with some good old CAD for the ash tray panel











      And we're finished

          That shifter surround turned out awesome. Why did you relocate the lighter?

            Thanks man. Funny story about that. I didn't mean to put it on the other side but when I marked the panel before I bent it I had it upside down and didn't realize it until after it was too late and certainly didn't want to re do it.

                bahahahaha that would make my day

                to be honest it kinda annoys me. I hate screwing up details like that. I might just cut another hole on the other side and add a second one to keep things even. I already have another socket

                          Nope. If your trans is healthy it is unnecessary. I just replaced all detents, springs etc. It snaps back to position forcefully on its own.

                                Holy crap... I've spent the last two weeks reading from beginning to end after stumbling on your thread. Everything you've done is just so clean and satisfying, and hopefully, I can put a 1/10th of the attention to detail you did into my car. So much yes... SO much yes haha ;D
