No mods to be made..Just buy the whole system. About 120.00 for the Morse system<br /><br />Some people like the no feedback system. Which is a little more.

Is the Rotary system better than the Rack an Pinion type ? What are some recommendations ?So they will bolt up the same on my dash ? :confused:

It would be better to replace with what you have. Just replace the whole system when you do it..It will cost about 30.00 more with the kit..You will not be sorry in the long run!
