Talked with Dustin over at Z1 Motorsports and he's sending me some washers/spacers so that the Shift knob and shift boot sit flush w/out gaps. I'll updated pics of that later when I get them.

For now, if you've already purchased one, you need to remove the 2 rubber O-rings around the center plastic piece so that engaging in reverse gear will be smooth.

I'll update post with pics + impressions.

Just to clarify what is going on here with dcrew1x's shifter, we have found that when using the stock shifter knob, the boot does not sit as flush up against the bottom of the shift knob. We are providing these washers to ensure that the boot does in fact fit properly.

As for the O-rings, we have discovered that the O-rings tend to bind, causing issues when attempting to engage the reverse gear. With that we ship all 370Z AMS Shifters with these corrections. Unfortunately in dcrew1x's case one got by us and I am in the process of taking care of the matter now.

No biggy. Those O-rings are easy to take off. Just get a flat tip. Can't wait for the washers to do the install
