I finally went to the dealer this morning to get my shifter recalled.

It might be a bit more "solid", but not enough that I notice it. The hole in the shifter ball is different than I expected. I though it would be near the bottom of the ball, but it isn't - it's in the middle of the ball. Instead of my fingers feeling the hole all the time, it falls between my two fingers about at the second knuckle. Not that noticeable - until I put my hand sideways on the ball (i.e. gentle shift into 4th). Then my finger tip lands right on the hole. I guess I'll figure out how to fill the hole, but it isn't a priority since it's not as bad as I was expecting.

I also had the rest of the "recalls" done. They did the ECU re-flash (mine's an early car and had not had it done yet). The car actually seems to idle a tad bit better, but no real difference yet. By the way, this does in fact, clear all the entries in the ECU. The computer thought my car had 17 seconds on the engine...

The headlight embellisher rings were added. They are not noticeable at all.

The duct tape has been added to the sharp metal under the dash (never touched it so I don't know if it was a problem).

The manual was "updated" with the air bag temperature warning.
