Default RevShift Trans Mount Insert Worth It!!!

Just wanted to let all of you know that the RevShift trans insert is one of the best mods I have done!! I have UMI mm's and one of my modded short shifters and there is no rubbing. I had problems getting in 1st and reverse but they are smooth to get into now. Worth the 20 min to do this mod.

How's your engine vibration with umi mm? I was thinking of doing the same revshift transmount but using their mm.

I honestly don't have anything to compare with b/c when I replace my OEM mm they were split apart. I think she still drives smooth.

The trans insert helps with the "problem" people have when shifting into 1st or reverse.

It helped me a little with the side to side slop and just over all felt smoother when shifting.

was looking in the classified for one and saw a thread with you selling one and then noticed in another you bought one?

My trans mount was shot and coming apart so when I tried to install the one I had I couldn't. The one I bought was a trans mount with the insert already installed in it. Win win for me.

I finally installed mine yesterday. After a while trying to use some Super Lube grease, I gave in and lubed it up with Dawn and got it in. Don't forget to jack up the rear of your trans and I took the exhaust loose from the cats for more working room.

Shifting is better but I do get more vibrations into the cabin.

Mine made shifting smoother with the detrimental side effect of increased felt vibration in the gearshift. Totally worth it though, I like the added feedback... feels less vague.
