Just installed the SS, Base Bushings and the Cable bushings.

The Cable bushings took about 10 minutes to install the short shifter probably about 15 minutes and the crappy base bushings about 2 hours. I tried my darnest not to drop the bushings and even
had it tied to a little string but the string came off and the bushing went into NoMansLand. I had to loosen the main Console and went fishing for the bushing. Couldn't find that sucker anywhere. It got jammed right under the Handbrake assembly and there was no way to get to it even with the console loosened. I fished for that thing with a coathanger and after drawing first blood and some cuts and bruises and almost breaking my center console in half I finally got that piece of Holy bushing out of there. GEEZZ.. what a workout... If I had known the trouble those little things would cause I would have paid not to ship them.
Personally I don't see a need for the base bushings. I do like the Cable Bushings and the short shifter was a breeze to install but never again Base Bushings

If anyone even consider getting them please do yourself a favor and at least loosen the Center console so you can at least have a chance of squeezing in the bushings and screwing them in. There is no way in Hell that you can install them without dropping them into oblivion unless you are Mini Me and have Paperclips as fingers.

Other than that I like the MOD
