FWIW once you remove the shift lever retainer, you're removing the part that actually connects the transmission to the mount. I don't think it matters if you remove everything or not and that may not be specifically covered in the install video.
I'd have to dig in a bit to sort out whether the shift lever retainer could be swapped for an alternative piece that still handles the 'transmission mount' duties, but not the shift lever mount duties. Since it's only metal, it might actually be legal (and relatively simple) to replace (no metal content issues to worry about). Might help with some of the floppiness I've observed in videos of the IRP.

Thanks. Yeah if a substitute bracket was available that would be awesome! Let me know if you find something.
This seems like a classic example of a rule blocking people from making a pretty standard modification. I really wanted the IRP for enjoying the car more on a daily basis and at the track. It will make me no faster in autocross. Really frustrated I can't have it in STX :-/
