the 77's upgrades

[blazinchuck]

well after 3 hrs of fighting, i got the sticks in. i was really disappointed in these sticks from JBFab. i just installed a set on the 77 before the 5sp swap. those were perfect! i couldnt even bolt these in due to the angle of the rear stick at the pivot where it was welded. after trial and error, i got that on to clear(was hitting the tcase shifter mount) provided by AA. then had to bend the front stick to clear the rear stick. once all that was done, both sticks were in my KNEE! so i had to bend mutiple times to get these to work. the AA tcase mount is junk and i will have to beef it up...needs a brace that goes over to the pass side of the tcase adapter and maybe another forward on the tranny. when you grad the sticks hard, it flexes too much. once they were in , i made some small modifications to the new cover plate. dont really like how both set of shifter boots overlap...but it will have to do. dont think i got a pic of the finished product, but heres what i have
