(Thread Starter) | Not Ranked : 0 score 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 |

(Thread Starter) | Not Ranked : 0 score 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. |
