So had one of the guys, that supposedly got fired from the previous wrap place, come over to measure the fangs and the lip. Here's hoping the estimate is low.

Alright.. maybe my original post was a bit unclear thus I should clear up the question. The short-throw kit will NOT directly damage the transmission or its components. However, the shorter shift-time might lead to the following: For example: you are traveling on 2nd gear 30mph@4000rpm change to 3rd gear at 30mph the engine speed should drop to 3000rpm thus you depress the clutch at 3000rpm With the OEM gear throw, let says it takes 0.5s Now you have the short-throw... traveling on 2nd gear 30mph@4000rpm, up-shift to 3rd... takes only 0.2s engine speed has only drop to 3500rpm, which is not the engine speed for 3rd at 30mph.... either you depress the clutch thus you engage the clutch too early.... or you hold the clutch til the engine speed drop to 3000rpm. ^ those are the side effect I am talking about. I hope it does make sense to you guys.... but correct me if I am wrong |

Well....my local body guy has paint to match my car because he custom painted the splash guards hubby got me for christmas so i was thinking ....same color as my car. Understated but i'm not flashy type. I talked to Mike on here but couldnt decide what to do....wondering though about heat resistance on it.

The story from the owner is that he and another guy were fired based on how my situation was handled. The story from this guy is that they both quit after seeing how my case was handled.
I figured I'd get them to compete.
