Done with tap shift install...now normally this is probably a 2 hr deal at most..however...when one (me) does not take certain precautions, like common sense stuff, cover all holes with tape stuff, in case you drop small ass screw into shifter area..not to be found,,ever again....precautions..in any case i was able to get new screw,,thans to ACE H'dwre..

here is the picts..

i took it for a ride, and for me..good easy natural shifting, i seemed to be able to determine shift points easier them tap on wheel, and also rest my right arm as i shift, just all around more natural feel...jmho!

Hi Pete, glad to see you got it in,most do it a bit quicker but as long as it's in and working. Hope you enjoy it, I think you will find yourself using tapshift all the time, it's addicting.
