...Resurrecting a good thread... I am starting the swap to the 4 speed in the vert and will be installing new sound deadener and new carpet while I am at it. I ordered a kit from Tamaraz on line; 4 speed non console kit. It should not have fitment issues as I plan on non colnsole as I am a keeping the bench seat. I asked about the difference in the console vs. non console kits and the salesman said that console cars had a differnet tunnel hence the more carpet; I never knew that; is this true? I knoew they had mounting gusetts.....o No: Anyway, just thought I would strike upa chatter...:beer
If the rear defogger motor runs at the battery, my bet is the ground at the rear panek. That is what happened to mine.
I would be really surprised if you experience anything different than the fitment frustration alot of others already have. IMO, you said "the words of doom" when you told them "4 spd carpet set" and I have as much faith in any of the salespeople's advice/knowledge as I have in our politicians. The problem is the worst at the front edge of the carpet in the tunnel area....so all that guy's talk about brackets, etc sounds like pure ignorance. I hope something has been done to correct this problem but I doubt it will happen. Has anyone talked with Legendary to find out WHAT, IF ANYTHING, ACC HAS DONE AFTER LEGENDARY BROUGHT UP THE PROBLEM WITH THEM??? (I recall someone talking with Legendary and getting the response that the people at Legendary were going to discuss the problem with ACCo No: ). Thanks for reviving this and PLEASE report back with how your set fits once you get it....then we can place another check mark in the appropriate column ("the fit sucks" column OR "it fits fine" column).
I told the guy that I think he was mistaken as I have never heard nor seen such a difference; he insisted so i let him go.
