Took apart the entire dash and console to investigate the completely shot shifter bushings and radio. Discovered the original shifter bushings were worn to shit and upgraded it to the Z1 short-shifter and bushings, and upgraded the old radio to a modern doubleDIN with wireless Carplay etc. While I was there decided to replace worn original shifter boot and e-brake boot
Confirmed bushings were worn and broken. Old shifter would move around like it was in neutral in all gears, not ideal
Z1 short shifter installed, much cleaner notchier feel and amazing quality.
Fully installed, super clean and the ATOTO S6 is awesome so far, wireless carplay works flawlessly and overall very satisfied so far.
