3 - great time to rebuild you shifter linkage. did I say great time? REALLY great time. you are all the way in there. expect to have to order the parts. search the archives as some good lists have been posted.

4 - wanna shorten your shifter throw? order up a z8 shifter arm for about $55 and swap that too.

5 - the guibo is easy. the center bearing can be a trick to remove. a gear puller can be helpful to pop it off.

6 - got a 535? be sure to be careful with the rear cv joint. it will be exposed when you drop the driveline.

ok..that's I can think of for now. have fun and good luck.
