When the guys at Primarily Japanese swapped out my transmission, they cut and re-welded the 280Z shifter so that it wouldn't impact on the console. I doubt that any "general repair" shop would know to do that.

PS: the shop is only a couple blocks from the U of A

PPS: GO CATS!

Duffman,

Gary moved to Texas???? Do you know where and if he is still working on Z's???

George, he is moving to the Dallas/Ft Worth area by late January. He is not sure if he will be working on Zs as a profession or hobby going forward.

Duffman,

Thanks.... he's not only a great guy but a wonderful mechanic and now, although he is in Texas, he is further from me than when he was in Phoenix...
