Looking forward to seeing the 315's on the rear. I've got 295's on mine right now and would love to go to a 305 on the rear. I've got 19x12 SP500's for the rear.

Which r154 transmission is that? Looks like you can use the w58 mount. My r154 has the 4 mounting close together.

My mkiii tranny doesn't have the mount holes you do. They are two holes on each side really close to each other. Do you know what year mkiii tranny you had?

^^^You need a W58 mount and you just use one hole on each side of the trans to install the trans mount.

97 i was typing when you posted.

Quick update from this evening...

I've wanted one of these for a while...






It's a billet aluminum reverse collar that's an exact replica of the plastic oem piece. This is made to fit over the oem shifter. There was a batch of these made for a SF member in Norcal and they all sold out pretty quick. I kept nagging and nagging him and was lucky enough for him to find an extra one in storage. You need to use a punch tool to remove the pin that holds the collar in place, but other than that it's a straight forward ordeal.







It looks really cool in person and feels great.
