Hey man!Hey, in your video you mentioned for a brief second at 5:50 that you did a "shifter fix", and pointed to what looked like two purple zip ties on your cable connector sleeve. What happened there?
Thanks again for the mention and link above Baldheadracing, you're quick to respond!
Quick overview of the "fix". There is nothing wrong mechanically with the shifter. The "fix" is basically strategically placed zip-ties to resolve an annoying clunk sound that occurs on some 10th gens upon installing any short shifter extender/adapter. The additional length of these aftermarket extenders reduce throw, but the oem design of a black plastic bushing on the gear selector cable secures the cable loosely on the oem shifter assembly. Short throw extenders/adapters in general will impose a slight angle on the shifter cable when shifting (again, this angle is not harmful to the car), and as a result push up slightly on that plastic bushing in a way that it "clunks" or "clicks" at the attachment point on the shifter. I'm actually currently working on revising the "fix" video description to provide a better explanation for those who want to learn more about this.
