Does anybody happen to know the specs on the shift rail spacing on our cars, vs the gears? I know on the Subaru's it's pretty tight, which is why there is such a risk. BMW's also have a really tight clearance, and you can actually ruin the gears by resting your hand on the shifter. On my Civic, I think the only thing it would do was eff up the bushings, since the clearances weren't that tight.
