yes i have looked at the faqs however, they stop at the removal of all the factory equiptment. it does not cover the installation.

for some reason, I thought they had pictursof removing the autotragic and installing the manual stuff. maybe ift was on another site.

either way, there are 2 big circle imprints on the interior side. that is where your 2 bolts will go through, but I thuink what you need to do is install teh motor and tranny, torque down everything on that side of the shifter/stabilizr, then simply hold it up to the underside and drill your holes. use grade 8 or 10 bolts and a lock washer, would suck for it to fall out during driving lol

better yet, get some nylon nuts, but be aware they are very difficult to remove. kinda a one time install. but they will stay in without a lockwasher. if you ever had to remove one, you would need a person to help you out, one under the car with a wrench, one on top with a ratchet or impact

Yes yes, please lock washers. I have to buy a new shifter holder thing, kind of unfortunate.

Yeah I know, but I also need to get bushings (Energy Suspension most likely) and some bolts and nuts for it.

I could also use a spring pin, I don't like the side-to-side slip an 8mm threaded bolt gives.

use a 3/8" bolt. it fits the hole snugly.


and i did use a lock washer, and a vinyl threaded nut, with locktite.
