Once I finished rebuilding the Stylus Transmission and adding the Quaife LSD, I decided to modify the quadrant box.

I cut down the length of the shifter arms:

I also removed the nylon bushing, drilled out the holes and pressed in a set of brass bushings. This completely removed all of the slack that was in this arm.

Both of this mods made a huge difference in the way the car shifts now. I highly recommend doing both!
