    Upgrading Shifter, for selector rod swap, whats least to be removed to get to it?

    Upgrading to UUC evo 3 + dssr
    Do I have to drop section 1 exhaust pipe?
    Do I have to remove heat shield?
    I have small hands so wondering what I can get away with.

    Worth replacing with this Turner Polyurethane Shifter Arm Carrier Bushing? Haven't seen info on how to replace this part

    Welcome to the Forum!

    When I did mine SSK it didn't have to drop anything, but I have average size hands. Now the heat shield can be sharp, so watch your hands on it. If you want to give yourself a little bit more room, you could drop the tail of the transmission to give yourself better access to the "bitch" pin.

    I haven't used the Turner products, but my understanding is that they provide a good product.
