Maddog's STS 72-2 installed.
Well, I've had this thing of beauty installed for a little over a month now, and finally have some pictures to share. I must add that the assembly was a piece of cake to install, even with the Booger bushings. The Maddog STS 72-2 is solid and smooth, and is a joy to use. With the console in you would never know what lurks below.

If I could just figure out how to meld the Outback and the Neon into one car...

I want to Thank all of you for the nice comments, and I want you all to know that it's very much appreciated. Speaking for myself, I value the opinions expressed here on 2GN. And that most 2GN'ers are proud of what they have accomplished and/or have done with their Neon's. Being 1 of 76, or 1 of 13, or even 200 of 200...... Facts are facts and I don't feel that there's anything wrong with voicing the facts. If I didn't get all this useful information and apply it may car would still be stock (as it was for the first 5 1/2 years of her life).
MoxHair This is more for you as you may understand where I'm coming from.
Now the rest of you can flame me all you want for the next pictures I'm about to show. But know that this is one small part that I did to make my baby an extension of who I am. GO - KINGS - GO.

I am kind of surprised that you went with Booger Bushings on the shifter, however.
I HAD them on mine, and I couldn't STAND them..... A day after I installed the shifter, I removed them and went back to the stock bushings !!
Don't get me wrong, the Booger Bushings are a good product. I used them on the cable ends at the transmission, and left those there (they'll never rot or go bad.)
But when I had the Boogers installed at both ends of the cables (at the trans and at the shifter), it was so damn stiff, normal driving became a pain in the rear.
Now I have the Booger Bushings on the cable ends by the trans, and stock bushing in the Maddog shifter, and I'm very happy with it.

Makes me wish that I have an MTX, but I kinda like those cover seats though.
Edit: It wasn't a seat cover, it was a blanket.

Re: Maddog's STS 72-2 installed.
To tell you the truth NickKo I actually have had the Boogers for almost a year now. The stock bushing that was on the transmission side (bigger bushing) had disintegrated completely. I had sooooo much play at the shifter end it wasn't good at all. The Dealer wouldn't sell just the bushings alone. They only sold the cable with the bushings for $180.00. That's when, through our beautiful family 2GN, I found out about the Booger bushings for $20.00. That was a no brain-er. No offense Danteneon. Anyway to make a long story short, They were already there so I just went with it. And as with what MoxHair said, I too found that after a week of use they did loosen up.MoxHair wrote:They actually loosen up after about a week.NickKo wrote: Great shifters.
