Did some more interior work last night, including adding a new Android Auto/Car Play adapter for the PX6 and hiding the wireless Android Auto adapter. The old adapter had problems sometimes with wired connectivity, which I attributed to wear/dirt in the USB plug. This had the added and unexpected benefit of upgrading Android Auto to full-screen! Pretty nice to have this in a 2007. The wireless connection now boots up much faster too. I'll probably never run it wired and just retain wireless with my phone plugged into the QC port.

Also installed the Ellis Precision shift knobs I've had sitting around for months. They feel awesome and the extra weight makes shifting easy. I also replaced the shift detent pin (per the suggestion of
@stupidchicken03 ), which was super easy. I checked the shift cable bushing while I was in there and found it to be perfect. Everything in the shifter mechanism also got a coat of Dumonde bicycle chain lube, which IMO works great in these kind of applications.

And now we're up to today. Installing a new driveshaft to hopefully get rid of the awful clunk.

And these parts. All of the 555 parts are replacing poor-quality aftermarket parts from a few years ago - including the recalled UBJs in my Ironman UCAs and Moog tie rod ends and sway bar end links, all of which have really crappy boots that ripped. The brake lines are to replace my SS PowerStop lines from 3 years ago, per my debacle with them, and the trans pieces are to try and get rid of the P2759 code that I think is a fault in the trans harness or the TCC solenoid.
