I finaly broke my stocker today so which one should I get?

Firewall adjuster or adjust at tranny is what it comes down to I guess.
Which do you guys prefer? I got to buy it quick so help me out.
BTW I've heard it's both easy and a PITA so what can I expect? Any tips?
What is the easiest way to remove the locking pawl?

I run a Maximum Motorsports quadrant and firewall adjuster with the factory cable. Works great! It's not hard to install, room under the dash is limited though. If you're a tall guy I'd recommend taking the drivers seat out.

So I can buy the MM quadrant and adjuster and keep the cable I have?
That should save some $$

Yeah you keep the stock cable.

Ok stock one is off (pawl was easier than I thought),
Now which one do I buy?
I'm thinging firewall because the rubber that meets the firewall on the $25 autozone cable is already torn basicly off and you pull off that whole assembly when using a FW adjuster, correct?

Also, do you use the round tension spring(s) on the aftermarket quadrant, I hope not, can't see hooking it back around like it was.
Hopfully the new one will have bushings, or perhaps the cable holds it in place?
