<VV> quick shifter

[NicolCS@aol.com]

Not a super big deal.  You will have to jack the car up, preferably onto four 
jackstands.  You will have to remove the tunnel in order to get to the bolts 
that hold the shifter to the floor.  Once the shifter is off, as I recall you 
have to drive out a pin and install an extension on the end of the shift lever 
and a spacer to the floor.  Late model cars use shims between the shifter and 
the floor; the shifter actually slides back and forth on the floor as the 
engine moves around.  You will want to check the clearance of the shims.  As long 
as you are in there, you might also want to replace the bushings in the shift 
tube and the little pin at the transmisison.  That will make it feel really 
nice.  No particular special tools are required, well except for the beer!
