Opinions on the CS Diff Block when doing the Diff Bushing?
Does it help extend the life of the CS Diff bushing?
Any drawbacks such as vibration/noise/squeaks?
My factory bushing lasted almost 10K miles and the 'clunk' is back, so this time I would like it to last quite a bit longer.

When I installed the revshift bushing and cs block, the whine was a little more distinct but the clunk and sloppy clutch-out feel went away 100%. At that time I asked the same question but ended up with the revshift bushing instead of a new stocker simply because installation is so much simpler. I would guess the block transmits a good amount of whine simply due to the direct physical contact, but admittedly never did a side by side. I think I made a thread at the time and two members said they had the block and stock bushing in there with 'no issues' but I'm not really sure what that means other than it works. Nobody really elaborated on noise or performance comparisons. I'm not sure it would be much different either way other than you'll never need to get under there again with the revshift bushing and that's worth the few bucks to me.

Good Info there - Thanks to all!
So, any preference as to which bushing - CS or Revshift?
Either way my dealer will be doing the install, so is one any easier than the other?

Prior to this bushing, another new one was installed just before I purchased the car in January 2012 and it didn't last a full year (I do less than 10K miles/year).
So if you're going to install a block, get it done asap.
