Yeh, I would suggest checking the transmission link first, would have saved me a lot of time!
Then again, now that the center console is out... B&M or Schnell going in soon.
Thanks for all the feedback.

If the black plastic cable connector has broken you would not be able to get into any forward gear, but it is easy enough to check what is going on. Remove the center console and look.
You should also look at the shift linkage on the side of the transmission to see if everything is connected.
Tool Pants,
You are 100% on. I took apart the center console to find the plastic linkage working fine.
I then got under the car and saw:

This morning while driving to the office I shifted to neutral and felt the shifter get REAL sloppy. Then I couldn't find any of the gears, eventually found 3rd and limped to work. I am awaiting tool delivery to research it, but in the meantime I am wondering did anyone ever have this happen.
Is this caused by a broken linkage? I have read on here that that the plastic OEM linkage is a common failure, yet I have also seen the EVO linkage isn't worth it because the plastic is adequate???
THANKS in advance

My rear wing is slightly off: almost touches trunk on the passenger side and have about 1/2" on the driver side.
How do you align the spoiler?
Thanks,

Time to do the short shifter hack, wondering if anyone has compared these two.
Thanks in advance,
