What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

[Konamoth]

But with the longer throw, do you lean more for R,1,3,and 5? I guess height makes up for it?

Just checked, and nah, not even close. Here's some pics. This is in 5th.

Definitely some spatial dilation going on, I swore it swung further and got closer, hah. What happens when you don't think about it too much, I suppose

Interesting to see for sure. Glad it works well for you. Reminds me of a manual transmission truck lol. I'm sure if someone used to a short throw drove yours it would feel like they cross state lines going from 1st to 2nd.

Exactly what I thought. I'm from Europe, where vast majority of vehicles are still stick and this is what you commonly see in vans and larger vehicles.
I find the position of the shifter in the right height where the arm rest doesn't intrude, but I understand higher position might be more comfortable.

I was thinking the same thing! I could not drive a stick like that.

It's really not that bad! Of course I say that being well used to it, but...

It feels like about the same amount of work/throw. Now, when I drop a barton in to replace the MT-82 linkage, it might get a little long.

It's definitely closer to that, I suppose. I tend to have this close to the steering wheel setup in mind when I think of a manual. Less distance to go between them.

I see you with that good underground. Been listening to Aes Rock for 20 years…. Yes, I’m old.

it comes with Allison gear-grinding soundtrack for authenticity.

Yeah I'm still gonna use blue next time. All good

I thought green thread lock was stronger than blue, while red is for hot environment.

I don't know dear, I did mine with that, couldn't get it off and finally said F it and got used to it. Now I love it. Pink knob wouldn't go with a blue car anyway. I'll do pink when I get a white or gray gt.

Coolio.
Like some things in life, "a little goes a long way".

If I get too much thread lock on one bolt, I'll just mate the threads to a second bolt to get it ready.

Yessirrr. Aesop and Rob Sonic are two of my favorites.

I'm glad someone recognized

there are ~15 threadlock varieties. There is a Red and also high-temp red, and shaft-locking red. Green is wicking (most common), purple is low strength. For the shifter anything that isn't grease is plenty.

Yes yes, grease your shift knob for faster gear changes. Good idea!

Nice! I only knew 3 colors before today.
