That's a TWM shifter, the bushings in the shift rod are just shot and I haven't found my nyloil bushings that are in my storage unit somewhere.
I can't stand the intake manifold either, but my weekends are being used to take care of more pressing issues with the car than how that looks. Besides, I have 2 options for induction that will be replacing that manifold eventually. I have a brand new GTR intake manifold plus around 80% of the other required items needed to go turbo.
The option I'm really waiting on is this GSXR 1000 IRTB setup that I have, all that's needed for that is to pick up a stand alone.
