I think that is a safety feature to prevent drivers from shifting to reverse thinking it is the next gear since not all gearboxes as the same. Mine does it sometimes.

Any suggestions for all season floor mats? I would prefer if they were made for the protege5 over general all season floor mats that fit it. Thanks

when installing the twm did you just use the stock jack or what did you do cause the jack says dont get under car when using this.

whats the difference between them? is one better than the other?

@bucksatan: could you upload a higher res picture of your car so i can see the 35% tint better. I understand that 35% means 35% of the light goes through but i dont know how dark this would be and i dont want to shell out $250+ if it isnt going to be /that/ different. thanks

I'm sure at least some of you have tinted your windows, but Mass's law is 35%. I am wondering how this would look on a yellow P5, like is 35% _black_. Also does aftermarket tint have the same percentage looking from the inside, as in how hard would it to be see out, especially at night? How much...

I have gotton mixed advice thusfar of which mod to get first (well after the short shifter) and I am wondering about cost vs performance for normal driving, okay maybe a little agressive but not racing. I understand that the cold air intake would boost horsepower by 5 or so and the sway bar...

my brother told me to get this one: http://www.awrracing.com/store/product_info.php?cPath=12_2_21_28&products_id=141 he is more of a car guy than I am, and I have not bought it to comment on the difference, although I would place money it doesnt squeak.

Do any of these have multi-disc changers? What is the benefit of them (obviously some hook up to iPod), but do they sound better with stock speakers? Just curious whats wrong with the stock one, cause I love the 6-disc mine has.

buy one :P I think I am going to get the A6 leopard (non-engraved) when I eventually man-up and buy this.

well assuming that a car uses the same amount of gas per rev (which makes sense to me but I am not sure) then a car will use less gas in neutral than in gear because the revolutions go down when you drop to neutral. The fact that truckers downshift to break with such huge loads makes me feel...

haha, yes they do, but they don't usually put rims on them too.

i know it is his wife's car, but still @pro5x2: could you upload a pic of the knob from the side, I like the overall shape of the classic/DE, but they seem a little too tall and it is hard to gauge without a pic.

I think I am going to keep mine, at least for a little after I get the short shifter to make sure I want to keep it, so a trade doesn't seem possible. @pro5x2: what are snap ring pliers? how are they different and are they common @ say a Lowe's or would it be an CAP part? just wondering, what...

I'm interested in buying a short shifter for my P5 and I think I am going to get a TWM if I end up buying one. However, I have a couple of questions and am wondering if anyone has experienced this upgrade (or not) has any input. First off, how much do the bushings and weighted shift knob...
