Yesterday I actually had a chance to go out and drive my nova again. still trying to get more comfy shifting fast. It is so much fun to drive though.With our youngest in school part-time I will have alot more chances to drive-esp now that the waether is co-operating !!!:hurray::hurray:

She's got legs and she know how to use them......:D
I had fun baby lets do it again:hurray:

Wow that is not much of a road you were on :eek:

Still appears a shorter handle may be needed, but the knob is way cool.

Ok my advice is this... A shorter shifter handle and keep your foot off the clutch pedal when your not using it, that is a bad bad habit to get into:thumbsup:

just my 2 cents:D

okay so my foot was near the clutch but not on it the entire time!!!!I am just learning:yes:I think i like the shifter longer cuz it isnt hitting me in the leg...and it looks really cool -seriously we tried shorter shifters and they just didnt work out right.I was smiling cuz it was time to drive the nova...my nova without any kids , on a back road!:hurray:really cool:beers:

thanks honey...I do have legs and can really use them...love you

congrats :thumbsup:

no one's raggin' ya 'bout the foot on the pedal but if yer learnin' then in the long run it'd be best to get used to it doin' it the proper way ;)

leaving your foot on the pedal permits the T/O bearing to stay in contact with the clutch fingers which promotes wear. so if ya get used to removing yer foot you'll find you get longer clutch life :thumbsup: as far as the shifter, that's fine... get used to it as-is but later on when yer really comfy runnin' through the gears, have Jon unbolt that handle and replace it with a shorter handle... you'll find yourself shifting quicker and smoother due to the shorter handle ;)

remember, we're not raggin' ya, just tryin' ta get ya used ta bein' a "ShiftyGurl" :D

i'm happy ta hear yer enjoyin' yer ride ;)
