TurninConcepts.com thats where I got mine, and they are great people! The parts cost like $70 I believe. The shop is in Brick Town, NJ. I take exit 89 off the Parkway South, here is the website: http://precisiontuning.com/ The owner is Rich, call them up and he can help you out with anything. Good luck. If you have any more questions send them my way.

I have heard rumors of Precision Tuning doing installs of our stuff, and I gotta be honest - I have not heard a single complaint in those rumors. Give them a shot. As far as I know they do great work.

Ditto, they do execellent work over there. Call the guy up, Kyle may answer, and they can talk you through anything you want to discuss. TurninConcepts are great guys too, and they answered all my annoying questions. By the way...TiC: whats with the Army Men again lol?

Here's the deal with the army guys:

Tom (Kartboy) sends out either an atomic fireball or a lemonhead with all his orders. A number of people on the boards were complaining that they weren't getting fireballs when they ordered Kartboy stuff from us. Well, just like you guys we only get a couple from Tom with our orders. Not nearly enough to pack them when we fill orders. We got to thinking that we should do something similar, but it couldn't be candy since that's Tom's thing.

For some unknown reason I got the idea of those little green army guys. Don't ask me why. It just popped into my head, and I have no way of explaining the truly odd and random things that pop into my head. Anyway, we thought it was a good idea because it's different, kinda fun and silly, and if you order a bunch of stuff from us you'll soon be able to make your own private army.

The thing that's funny about all this is it has cause this reasonably sized debate over on Nabisco of which is better - army guys or fireballs. It's gotten to the point that Tom melted a couple of army guys on a fireball and sent it back to us. We retaliated by posting pics of army guys blowing up a fireball. He retaliated by sending a couple of army green t-shirts with the kartboy logos on them. We retaliated by shipping him a box filled with army guys and packing peanuts (it took him 20 minutes to sort through them all). He says he's got something really good planned for revenge, but we haven't seen it yet, and we think we've come up with some really good responses for what he has planned in the future.

Bottom line - it's just us being big dorks.

Awesome, yah when I opened the box to look at the stuff, these army guys were popping out, and I was like what the hell? My friend was like, dude you got army guys? What is going on, I was like this has to be like their way of joking or something. But, I like them, I deal with Military people everyday so, its good! Thanks!

sorry to hijack your thread but Chris, do you feel that since you don't hear the clunking any more, that you have now placed stress on another part of your car that could be more expensive to repair? I am curious because I too want to rid my car of that annoying sound, but don't want to damage anythign else. Thanks a lot for your time.

Well I believe that the new bushings are stiffer, therefore being more "rigid" in a way when the power (driving really fast and shifting) gets tough. I mean, the bushings (I think), first off were REALLY soft, so that caused more flexing, and now that they are stiffer, it doesn't flex like it was, therefore no more clunking during high rpm shifts. I would tend to think that the bushings are better for the car, than the older ones. Since things won't flex as much. I mean aslong as everyone there is bolted up and tight, I HIGHLY doubt it will ruin your car and its parts with these bushings. Also, remember if you power slam into each gear everyday for every year, don't think that everything in the car is bulletproof just because of the bushings, but the bushings do help!

BTW, what's with the "need a diamond" thing?

I want to buy the clunk killer from you. I import diamonds. So I figured I could hook my friends up if they asked. My shifter is rattling in all gears. If I hold the shifter or push in the direction of the current gear it stops. I removed my knob and I feel it is coming from the slight play in the reverse lock out. The reverse pull is clicking off of the shifter shaft. It is getting annoying. But I love the performance. Maybe I should flip the trim plate?
I need help.
