Only a few people have them and the ones that do enjoy them I would say there are 15-20 units out there. Not everyone is extremely vocal but, whenever I need a fair and impartial review I always go to Juan (marsredr100). He will be the first to tell me something sucks in a heartbeat.

and i am going to guess you never over shifted or forced a gear? or maybe in competition bent a shift fork?

sorry. this mod is for you about 4 years to late!

just a guess..

beers :beer:

Thanks for clearing up the use. I guess it's more for those that drive spirited all the time though, I'm a tad careful even when I do drive spirited, and have the SS. Mine doesn't really seem to be going further once engaged, but then again I also had to dremel the SS a bit for reverse so maybe mine's a tight fit either way.

[QUOTE=Fluid Motorsports;2946851]To clear up the confusion here,

This product stops the driver from forcing the shift lever past the point where the transmission is already in gear. During overshifting the synchronizer is forced farther on the hub than required for proper operation. This actually attempts to stretch the synchronizer cone over the hub which can distort the soft synchronizer changing the clearances and eventually may cause the synchronizer to actually break.

your missing part of the picture

I'd be really interested in seeing these... talking to two mechanics that are firends of mine, another car forum, and a google search has come up empty...

they have stops in them because most of the time the domestic shiters you order from a Jegs catalog are "universal fit":

on the mustangs I had, all the name brand short shifters had stops built into them...they were application specific not universal jegs crap.

so what Brice says about the stops is absolutely correct in how they function and makes sense (to me anyway) that the synchro saver works the same way.

too early, too late, no matter

it's not SCCA Stock Class legal regardless ...

really,

i find that odd. are you able to change shifters?

something that does nothing to enhance preformance yet protects the transmission is not allowed. how wrong is that? :(

beers :beer:

nope ... having to live with certain faults from the manufacturer is part of the Stock Class game

not failing is a performance enhancement WRT racing since it ensures that you make it to the finish


.

Explain how it saves the synchros then... enlighten me please

Why not call it a Shifter stop then?

Syncro waste of time
 

I am sorry to say after spending 2 weeks adjusting this "Syncro-Saver" and getting the run around from Fluid Motorsports:banghead: i am basically going to have to lose my $140.00, 2 weeks of grinding gears, popping out of gears has left me livid, but i was calm until i was told by them that thier would be a 25% restocking charge:Eyecrazy: and it had to be un-used:uhh:and new before i could return it:eyetwitch. My recomendation don't waste your money on 6 bolts and 2 hunks of metal with a piss-poor warranty...:rant:

Ha! At least you're getting some type of response. I've sent 2 emails and have had no response from them for a refund. It's still sitting in the package.

Got it send me an emai here at rx8sales@fluidmotorsports.com

Surprisingly I must have missed this post.

We'll get it hashed out tomorrow. At least I was correct in one regard...it was the next post after the op.. (just the wrong thread):)

After getting customer feedback on pricing we have decided to adjust pricing to $125.

The change in price is reflected on the website for ordering purposes.

installed one of these the other day.

In an honest evaluation, and i have done every other mod on my car imagineable, its a good insurance policy. It doesnt really change much except for driver error. You will not be able to overshift IF YOU SET IT CORRECTLY. the people who are complaining about coming out of gear or still making noise do not have it installed properly

you should be able to hear a click after you are in gear fully. if it comes out of gear adjust it. that simple

Now when i drive i am not concerned about what happens if i slam into gear real quick or leave my hand on the gear shift while driving..

recommended. i like it. there are other pointless things you spend even more on so why not.

^^

Agree.

Also, you have to take the top portion off and flip it upside down to fit properly (I had to anyways). How it came, the bottom gears had too much space and could still be over-shot (although, you're more likely to overshift in 1,3,5 than 2,4,6..).

I've had the syncho savers in now for about 3 weeks. They were very simple to install and have no problems post install. I have no idea as to whether they will save me synchros and frankly I don't care, that is not why I bought this product.

I bought the product because I liked the definitive clicking sound that comes with each shift - it puts a smile on my face :) On that front, this mod is great! Hey, we do a lot of mods for sound, right? Why not this one!!! Recommended.

I am glad everyone is enjoying this, I know I love mine :)

Hey Scott
Thanks for letting me check out the syncro saver in your car.
I've ordered and should have in my hands by end of next!
w00t can't wait.

I have had this on my car for over 7,000 miles now and tranny is still healthy. No problems at all... none of the popping out of gear stuff going on which some are complaining about. I also feel very confident changing gears during WOT because I know I will not overshift. Also one thing this keeps me happy is that everytime I hear a click I am sure that I am in gear!

I only wished the class rules would permit me to use this because I'd install it on mine pronto if I could

:)

Atleast you are on the positive side now Teamrx8

hmm this sounds interesting. i might get it after i buy my rims.

but then again i wanna stay in STX and this wont be legal. aswell as my clutch bracket. :(

^What wheels are ya getting?
