Default Trouble with UUC short shifter kit

I received my order from stratmosphere 2 days ago (Thanks Pete!!!) and tried to convert it to the 40% reduction configuration.

I found that it's pretty impossible to even budge the teflon bushing so I can relocate it to the lower hole.

Anyone else have trouble getting that teflon bushing out? If you did, how did you manage to dislodge it?

Thanks.<p>Kabo

Will give WD40 a try. Just surprised that it didn't pop out with just some effort, I mean, does that piece need to be in there THAT tight? It's beyond snug...<p>Kabo

Wait--isn't the lower hole the 20% reduction and the upper--shorter distance-- the 40%reduction? I think it comes at the 40% setting. Better chk with others or with UUC.

Me too. Worked perfectly. Tap gently as to not deform it at all...

Default Sounds like the problem is with the car not the shifter kit
