I actually got off my a*se today and decided to re align the linkages on the bottom of the shifter from underneath the car.........for the last 6 months it hasnt felt like its performance was up there and I have been looking for reasons but it appears the gearbox linkages have been restricting the box from fully selecting the gears and hence the poor old girl has been working triple overtime to get anywhere I took her for a blast directly after the realignment and its so much better it is hard to believe its the same car I am so happy with it now.......just gotta stay in this mood with it and fix the thermo's and get a slight exhaust mod done partly cause it is leaking and partly to just get rid of the 2 mufflers the car has and bring it back to being 2 cats, a resignater and a muffler cause with 2 mufflers its too quiet........lol

sure is and it shifts super hard now... lol i love it like that its all back to normal for the last 6 months if you lock it in first you get first and second and if you lock it in drive you got second, drive and if you were not careful you also picked up neutral which is a serious pain in the a*se. now its shifting properly I would love to see how it goes there is a serious improvement in performance now lol........I wonder why.....hahahahaha... I held it back in first today and pushed it out a little still didnt reach the limiter but made 96kph that was just on 5grand if i recall so if it holds gears as well as it used to should be loads of fun... pity I am going away for the weekend and leaving it with my mum till tuesday arvo... even they can feel the car performing better.
