Default Just placed my Revshift order

MM's, trans insert, diff bushing, cradle bushings, and trailing arm bushings.

I plan on starting off with installing the MM's and trans insert first, then driving the car for a few days to see if I can tell any difference's. Hoping it's easier shifting into 1st and R. Also be able to do away with the rough shut-down.

Then onto the diff, cradle, and trailing arm bushings. Hoping to get most of the wheel-hop out of the car and hopefully prolong my whining rear diff!!

i cant speak for your shifting issues but the second to turn the key and start your v for the first time you will notice a huge improvement with the aftermarket MM's ... as for the cradle bushings and trailing arm bushings have fun with that install lol but it does make a beautiful difference.

I just received the exact same order from them, but it will probably be a while before I can install them. How much are the cradle, diff, and trailing arm bushing suppose to help out with the wheel hop?

I'm very happy with my motor mounts. As other have said it is a huge difference when you start and shut down the car.

For the first gear and reverse issue I found switching trans fluid to Synchromesh fixed that issue for me. I know there are long debates about what fluid to use. I've tried Dex III, Mobile 1 and Synchromesh. Synchromesh gave me the best results out of the three.

What brand of "sycromesh" fluid did you use?

TIA

I placed an order on the 20th and haven't seen a shipped notification yet. Hopefully it was just b/c of the holidays. It was a rear diff bushing so maybe they had to make more or something.

My order got shipped to the wrong person on accident but they PM'd me and I called and they fixed the issue and next day mailed my stuff. Give them a call, they're pretty helpful.

I ordered my shipment on Black Friday and it arrived on 12/24/12... I'd expect a month to wait for your order. I ordered the trailing arm bushings when they came out a week or so ago... I don't expect those until February.

So much for demand forecasting and market planning, I was hoping to have my ruca bushings sooner rather than later.

I believe they told me they'r caught up with all the Black Friday sales, so it shouldn't be too bad of a wait now.

I PM'd them today with my order number and got my shipped notification email within a few hours.

I'm sure it was just the holidays. I know I've been off 12 days and had a shitstorm on my desk today.

I placed my order on the 20th, and have yet to get any kind of shipping notification. I've called about 100 times and only gotten a hold of someone once. They told me it would be shipped over the weekend. Still no email, and couln't get anyone on the phone today.

Ordered the RUCA bushings the day they were released and still no shipping notice yet.
