Default i found 2 or 3 rubber (i guess for PVC) couplings. they were 1 1/2 inch diameter, and stretched

over the mount really well. this one acctually had a lip on it, thats why i used it. so it wont be pulling off the one way cause of the lip, and the wall on the front will stop it from going the other, i didnt glue it but i think its going to stay on nicely.

my dad said its part of a no-hub coupler/connector, HTH, im sure home depot would would somthing.

Is the drivetrain slop gone now? How does it shift?

Default just drove her, its soooo nice...

idk if this is what u guys talk about, but since my housing was bad to begin with there was a LOT of play on the top of the snub. so now that it is centered WITH the coupler on it when i shift my car doesnt lurch and "hit" at all. before when id shift it was just aweful, at WOT or not, it was scary for me cause i knew when i shifted it was going to be bad, no matter how good u are on the clutch it felt like crap

Next on my list is fixing my GD throtle cable, thing fell of just now and i wasnt even on the gas much... so annoying.

Thanks to all that helped, my shifter doesnt move around in gear anymore, its beautiful

OO, also acelleration is much better, specially in low RPM, feels much more responsive when stepping on the pedal. great mod.

Default ya and its really easy i didnt have to remove the cross over pipe.

just loosened it and pushed it back an inch to get at the bolt on the housing.

it really is a good mod, for 20 bucks it cant be beat, u feel a difference, i promise.
