Re: Aftermarket shift knob...
Why complicate the things? clean the rod, put few turns of cloth tape to prevent the zip tie from sliding. remove the plastic clip in for the gaiter that goes into the oem knob. If you want it fancy you could make a groove in the rod for the zip tie using a dremel. Or cut threads into the new shift ...

I'd...

Looking through the Elsa, th...

Still cannot get the ratchet bar straight down or anywhere near straight so put on the swivel joint and managed to get some purchase on it. Didn't budge but did crack around the base of the hex on the to...

Re: How major are these issues a garage noted?

It will help, to save your cv joint from getting crap in it and destroying it. The booth it self, some grease, clips and can of brake cleaner is not expensive. go with what 222...
