Is it really the first w58 gs? Had no idea haha. I can't wait either though!

I need a little more detailed information to help. Are you talking about the shift selector? Or the shifter itself? Or the driftshaft? The driveshaft shouldn't effect any of your shifting...

I was going to use an SC set up. But I'm too lazy to pull it out, so I just leave it in gear for now. I'm eventually going to install a hydro ebrake once I can figure out where to put it without it looking ridiculous.

Mad props for doing this swap. Lots of work! I'll be curious to see how the w58 holds up with boost!
