Noob - hardly - but willing to pay for someone else to work on my Fox since I'm working lots of hours...
Just had my shift bushings done - Blew out my bushings on Monday night and had to drive home in 1st
Took it to my favorite shop and had them redo all the bushings and it only cost me $105 and they modded 2 rabbit shifter bushings to fit my Fox since the correct parts were a week away if they had them shipped. Man its like a whole different driving experience.
I'm also, from Oregon. I'd be curious to know what shop you take your Fox. I need to have some work done and don't know where to take it. I have a 88 wagon with 78,000 miles on it, but it needs tuning.
