FSTB for a 2003 auto??
Hey all, first post...
Ok, so Stillen's website states that their FSTB won't fit a 2003 with an auto tranny (but it WILL fit an 02 auto??). I gave them a call and apparently the engine sits higher than in the manual and the 02 auto, and there isn't enough clearance. I emailed Cattman about theirs, they say it would fit but they are out of stock, and they don't have enough demand for another manufacturing run yet.
Any 03/auto owners out there with a FSTB other than Cattman?
Sorry if this topic has been covered, but my google searches were fruitless.

The FSTBs on eBay work too I believe, not sure about you people with autos though...
I have this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...sPageName=WDVW
And people like the Otto as well:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...sPageName=WDVW
And yes, they work pretty much the same as the $12908575620976 Stillen one and the titanium Cattman one...
Btw, did ya try the instructions here for a Googe search? Just wondering.... cuz that really helps... I use that once in a while myself.... http://forums.maxima.org/showthread.php?t=368622

Yup, I tried it, but with this being an issue specific to the 2003 auto, I mostly got a lot of garbage. (2003 for the date of the posts, FSTB for almost every thread imaginable, etc)

Anyways, I'm pretty sure that the Otto/eBay FSTB works with an auto... but don't take my word for it... I'm sure some other people with autos will post at some point....

I wish that were true, but alas, I quote the stillen website:
"This part does not fit 2003 Automatics"
As I said, I did call Stillen, and they confirmed that there is a clearance issue only with the 2003 Auto's. It doesn't affect 2003 6-spd or 2002 autos.

Sweet. Thanks. I guess this newb should have read the sticky posts more carefully. I think I'll go ahead and order the Otto. It's cheap, so if the washer fix doesn't do the trick I won't be out too much $$$
