Question about Short Shifter Removal - Need answer fast! (m)

Does the factory shifter use the aluminum bushings under the guide rails. There were only 3 with the SS kit, so if they do use them where do they go? They are essentially spacers that raise the guide rails up. I'm thinking that the factory shifter does not use these, but I'm not sure.

no, the stock shifter assembly does not use the spacers/bushings that the guide rails rest on...

the rails rest right on the metal washer attached to the "bin". is this what you are talking about. this pic is from rs4.org's instructions on the installation of a tanoga ss. these are spacers which are part of the ss kit.<ul><li><a href="http://www.rs4.org/rs4/rs4-fearture/tanoga-shifter/tanoga-p04.htm">http://www.rs4.org/rs4/rs4-fearture/tanoga-shifter/tanoga-p04.htm</a</li></ul>
