RevShift Transmission Block Installed

I just installed my Revshift trans insert a couple days ago; my factory mount was about 100% compressed; the insert took quite a bit of muscling to get in there with the rubber so compressed, but in the end, it was totally worth it. First, reverse, and 5th are much easier. Less vibes in the cabin, way less stick movement on decel in gear.

OK, so here is my take on everything.
RevShift makes a good product.
AZ makes a quality shifter.
If you are going to use both of these products together, then you need to flip the white plastic pivot ball cage that attaches to the shift, over, to gain clearance for the new shifter.
I had HORRIBLE grinding in 2nd and 4th.
To be quite honest, it was that way when I installed the shifter, but only rubbed slightly.
I took it apart, and noticed that it was barely rubbing on the driveshaft coupler.
After a few thousand miles it rubbed a wear spot and all is good.
I looked at it again this weekend and none of the shift linkage, shifter has been worn through, i.e. lost any of it's integrity.
My only concern would be installing an new coupler, which I plan on getting one from RevShift in the future.
Time will tell on this one.
Flipping over the pivot ball cage/retainer, gained about 5/16".
Otherwise, you would have to build a spacer to fit UNDER the metal retaining portion of the shifter, so as to capture the shifter and raise it up to clear the shift linkage.
I feel like both products are great, but were both designed by competent individuals trying to solve an issue with our vehicles.
My issue is solved intermittently.
I have CS Motor mounts and now the revshift tranny mount, so I feel like these are working pretty good together, but I plan on removing the CS stuff and going with RevShift when I get all of the rear cradle bushings.
There is a definite feel of the drivetrain.
There is an increased humm in the stick, but the overall vibrations are gone.
There is less slop in the stick and it goes into gear alot better 70% of the time.
Car feels more like one unit now and less sloppy.

I have the revshift insert on my car. Before the insert my car had a collapsed OEM piece in there and due to it being collapsed, I had issues with getting te car to go into reverse. With te revshift insert I no longer have that problem. I also do notice the shifting is a slight bit more notchier. Makes it feel more "sportscar" like in my opinion. Overall I love it!

Of course, this will all be for naught if the supercharged 418 CID motor that I'm building reduces the Creative Steel motor mounts to two cups of black goo.

Got this installed today. Dropped the mid part of the exhaust and at first I took off the crossmember then took off the mount..... That was before I found this thread. My mount was completely collapsed I couldn't get the insert wedged in.
Did the fuzzy method and got it in after about 15 minutes of working it. The lube is some sticky crap.
Also doesn't the pisnuoff shifter say to flip the delrin to take care of the clearance? I need to install the shifter, motor mounts and headers but ill check on the clearance on the shifter before reinstalling the exhaust.

Installed the insert today. Spent more time negotiating the claw hammer into place than actually prying the bushing into place. Thanks Fuzz. Quick spin around town after the install, no increased noise, no increased vibration. Reverse is still a pain in the ***, hoping the new shifter and UUC bushings will help with that.
