Mine shipped same day and everything arrived neatly packaged and installed as directed in 15 minutes....and that includes opening the box, laying everything out and very slowly following the directions to a T. I have a CAI and didnt need to remove it so installation was super easy.

I took the car out for a spin and what a difference! Throws are way shorter as advertised and this plate does the one and only thing I myself and many others have had a hard time with....the 2-3 upshift under WOT. Even with a rmm I found this shift hard to nail consistently...now its butter. Everytime, all the time, I find third with ease and confidence. I haven't even bothered with the shifter bushings as I can't see how it could possibly get any smoother or easier.
I haven't even done any of the fine tuning as the only possibly problem thats come up is downshifting into 2nd and more noticeably 1st takes a little effort...but I think it'll be overcome with rev-matching and fine tuning, regardless I am very happy and would recommend this to everyone from stock to fully bolted. And if you want to keep the stock shifter height, save over $100 vs a STS and an hour of install time then this is a no-brainer.

Jamie, my only suggestion would be that you include more than one business card in the box so people can hand them out for you.

Thanks,

Matt

4th to 5th is actually easier as well. I always had a hard time with that one too, now its no problem. Seriously, there is no negative's with regards to upshifting, 2-3, 4-5 etc...there all good..even reverse is the same as before. A lot of people exaggerate and bullshit about how well mods perform when lots of the time they don't do much ...this is a no-bullshit mod... Its like the rmm - guaranteed results.
