Shift **** Install
Ok so I am trying to install my RX-8 5speed shift **** I just got from the UK and I went out to my car and screwed it on and man it looks rediculous sitting so high. I have heard you put tape on the shaft and the boot wont slide down but I figured I would make an install write up with pics. I need to know the size thread maker or just what size of nut that fits on the threads.
thanks

My thoughts exactly on it sitting so high, I asked Bill about his and to my surprise its a stock shaft. Although in his picture it looks as though it sits lower than normal.
