I am not sure if this is 325 specific, but I thought I would check with you guys. I am installing a UUC Street EVO short shifter, but I am having a problem with the (optional) delrin carrier bushings. There simply is not enough room to rotate the pin, in order for me to remove it (I can rotate it slightly, but it then hits the bottom of the car). You can look at the UUC documentation, to see what I mean:

I put a jack under the tranny, loostened the tranny cross-member bolts, and let the jack down a bit, but that only gave me about another 1/4 inch. Does anyone know what I need to loosten, to let the rear of the transmission down an inch or so?
Thanks!
Dave
