[QUOTE]Originally posted by *EPIK*: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by dvuspny: [qb] Your car was originally an automatic. The sheet metal around the shifter area is different on factory made 5-speed cars. There in fact is a seperate layer of sheet metal that is welded on at factory. It is different. This is both a larger shifter opening, and sits taller for the trans and shifted clearances. That said.....the sheet metal area still needs trimmed off and i drill and re~use the shifted boot bolt retainer clips by moving the over after trimming the sheet metal area. The noise can be either your install is still aligned incorrectly. Or possibly even a bad trans rebuild. Keep me posted. Talk with you soon. :patriot: [/qb][/QUOTE]Yeah, I trimmed it when I originally installed the 5 speed 3-4 years ago & it fit fine. Now it seems that after I installed this new trans mount that it doesn't fit. Maybe my old trans mount was so thrashed that it sit lower, but it really wasn't that bad from the look of it? So you are saying the trans tunnel on 5 speed cars is actually higher from the factory? [/QB][/QUOTE]
