depends on the spend...

Low $ dollar amounts dont attract extra id request..

After a few transactions ,you will enter the circle of trust...

Unlike the front, the rear gearbox coupling was a lot easier to undo. There is one screw type bolt that comes out and it easily slides out

Thanks guys
I really appreciate the encouragement

Hey has anyone used one of these Scat shifters?
With my birthday coming up I was wondering if its a good investment, I need a gear stick anyways and this wouldnt count towards my budget if the family buy it. It sells for around $200
