New proud '97 9000 Aero owner! Now the fun starts...

I'm now an official member of the board. The car is registered, and I'm ready to start some refurbishment. With 138K on it, it is getting a suspension refurb, since most of the parts in the car are in fact, original. The shocks are really squishy, so I'm going to put Bilstein HD's all around and replace ball joints and bushings as well. The clutch is very shuddery on launch in 1st, so I'm going to do that as well, since it's the original clutch!
Sometimes, 5th can be a bit tough to find. I'm assuming it needs a new shift linkage? The others are all fine. Sometimes engaging 5th feels like I'm engaging 3rd.
Thanks, and looking forward to being a contributor here!
