nice write up.. im' mjust bored checkin' out write ups... very nice write up about the console removal.. i did my t-5 swap the other day so i had to figure out this on my own... luckily, my stero installer experience helps me w/ most interiors..

also, i put 3 qts of rp in mine.. but 5th gear is LOUD..... did i not put enough fluid? i was told to use atf on t-5's, but i read on this one site that only wc t-5's use atf... and non wc t-5's use 70wt.... how acurate is this?

I know this is kinda old, but I just installed Roush short shifter base on my car last weekend. It was a pain to get my stock one off of my 02. I tried pulling on the shifter itself in various directions, tried jarring it lose with a hammer/screwdriver and no luck. Finally I was able to get some adjustable pliers in a tight spot (due to shifter cutout size) and get the toothed edge under the flange and slowly pull it up with no damage to anything. Just a tip for someone in the future. Mind you I thought of jacking it up and getting under to hit it up from the bottom, but that would've been way more work! Oh yeah, and for 3650's you can use those same pliers and method to safely remove the plastic bushing to transfer it to the new shifter without making it fly across the room with a flathead as some other tutorials I've read online say!!
