I wouldn't bother with the zzp trans mounts, they aren't actually rotated(unsure if they ever corrected them)

Ottp or Powell for trans mounts.

the strut bar isn't really necessary for our cars since I strut towers are molded to our firewall, so you can probably skip that unless you want it for some engine dress-up.

Ottp also sells a short throw shifter if you wanted to check it out, I have one with the delrin knob(I think) and I absolutely love it and the way it feels, came with bushings as well. If your patient you can ususally catch them on sell since ottp...has a lot of sales lol...but if you wanted to keep the stock knob zzp is the way to go!

Also looking forward to seeing progress!!!!

the ss/tc shifter cable bracket is a nice upgrade as well, it eliminates the rubber bushings and gives a more positive shifter feel.

Well there's the upgraded shifter bracket, not sure if you did that yet. Swap the lsj bracket out with the lnf styled one. The bracket itself is like 25$ and very easy to swap out.

TWM, BPS and OTTP make short shifter kits for our cars as well if you wanted to look into those options.

Depending on miles may want to think about swapping cables out! I know I need to do mine sometime this year

I felt the biggest improvement from the shifter base bushings TBH.

The SS/TC cable bracket is nice to have as well, but I didn't feel as much from that as everyone claims.

I have stock SS/SC shifter with ZZP base bushings and SS/TC cable bracket. Shifts nice and smooth now. No rubbery feeling.

Any additional shifter vibration or noise? If so, at idle or all the time?
