Put in the shifter bushes and short shift plate. The shifter bushes were the biggest pain in the ass to do as you needed to remove the shifter cage bolts, pry out the rubber bushes and replace with the machined aluminium ones. The bolts at the front of the shift cage needed a lot of patience. The end result was a lot of sideways play in the shifter was cleaned up.
Then went and put in the short shift plate. I set the throw reduction at 40% but am not happy with the way the linkage hits the bottom of the airbox with the short shift plate it. I need to figure out a way to raise the airbox but there is not much room to move unless I get rid of the box. The shift action itself with the plate in is great, really notchy and precise but still not happy with the airbox. I used the rubber bushes that I pulled out of the shifter cage as spacers on the bottom of the box but its still not quite enough.
This was a pic taken soon after on the Putty Rd during a road trip down south:
Got the rear engine mount in around a month ago, holy **** the vibes were intense for the first 1000km but have settled down now. Vibes present at clutch take up and on over run and should settle down a bit more. Either way, the car feels totally different now that the engine slop has been controlled. Feels very planted, torque steer has decreased substantially and gear shifting has tightened up heaps.
