I still 100% would always recommend to change the shift gates anyway.
Thank you all for your help. Just one question to wizardpc. What connector for the 242?Originally Posted by XJwonders
the pattern is different. Sure the handle still can function correctly but it's difficult for it to stay in specific location due to different notches on the gates.I still 100% would always recommend to change the shift gates anyway.
