Great DIY. Not too difficult I would've been done in like 20 minutes if the variance of the shifting rods in the 07 wasn't a problem. I had to file out a piece of that big circle around the shifting rod because I couldn't engage second gear.
After that mess, I took it for a spin around the block. At first I didn't notice a difference in throw, and I kinda hated on the SS. Then I took it for a drive down the highway to the gym and I gotta say I definitely feel the difference and shifting feels great now. Nice and easy, much more firm and I hardly feel the 3rd gear problem. Again Great DIY!
