goddammit brice!! i should've waited..........
|
I have the AFE SS & it works wonderfully with the Syncro Saver. This product improves the great precision feedback of the AFE SS & makes driving the car even more fun.

OK,
I installed it and had the rubber problem issue -- Uninstalled and put the rubber first then the saver and omg! This thing sounds like a fucking sniper rifle the way i can shift -- I use to shift hard all the time and i was never sure how safe it is for my transmission but now i shift so hard and i know its precise and i don't have to worry about anything. This is a must buy! |

I was in your car and i felt your short shifter and it had that noise and i was like whats that -- someone said the saver and i was like i need to get one of those. Didn't know until i installed it how awesome it really is. |
Got my SS in the mail today...
Now I'm contemplating one of these, but do I really need one... ? Just don't have $110 + mad amounts of shipping to Canada to spend at the moment I guess... Don't feel like installing my shifter and then having to take everything apart again to install this later either lol |

Yup, the 2nd time you open up the shifter console takes no time at all. Kinda like the 2nd time you remove the front bumper. Experience is a wonderful thing. ;)
|
update on '09 compatibility please?
|
Is this thing supposed to come with 7 or 4 bolts? Mine came with four and I am reusing the three oem bolts to hold this in place. I am dealing with the shift boot now, should I put the SS over it or try to stretch it over the top of both.
|
The OEM bolts aren't long enough....you need longer ones so they don't strip out of the transmission housing
|
^Strip?

Review
I installed this with my AFE Short Shifter. The install went without a hitch and this thing makes the coolest little sound in my car. It also gives you a bit of confidence when shifting quickly. There's a nice little gate to make sure you don't over shift when driving aggressively. I recommend people to make the final adjustments prior to bolting it on. Run through the gears to make sure that it is properly adjusted for each gate. Great product! |
No synchrosaver for you 09-10 8's?
|
I got mine in a couple of days ago along with the clutch pedal reinforcement kit. It looks well built and solid, but mine also only came with the 4 short bolts (stamped "8.8 JH") for holding the front and back plates to the base plate.
Before I contact RR, can someone tell me how many bolts are supposed to come with? Mine came with: - (2) long bolts stamped "CS 4.8" w/ no washers - (1) medium bolt stamped "SC 4.8" w/ small washer - (2) short bolts stamped "CHS 4.8", 1 w/ small washer and 1 w/ large washer |

I love this thing! for anyone that has the afe short shifter this is a must have too!
I use to have a thunk when shifting from first to second not any more :smoker: |
I have a quick question about the syncro saver.
I've had it installed for quite a while now, very very happy with it. But... If you set it up correctly so the side of the shift level barely touches the metal frame, you'll get a slight vibration whenever you are in a gear that has no clearance between the frame. I have adjusted it numerous times so every gear is tight and makes no vibration, except for third gear. Now my question is. Instead of re-adjusting the whole frame, would you recommend i put a piece of electrical tape or duct tape where the shift lever hits the frame in third gear? I fear the tape might dissentegrate and fall into the shifter box from the sheer heat of the tranny. I've had a couple rx7's where the shift boots completely melted into the shifter box, definetely a problem. Ryan |
maybe a few drop of epoxy 5 minute???? just a little thought ! i'm sure it wont eliminate the noise but reduce it quite good....

I didn't write in until reading the most recent reply. I received an immediate explanation and apology, and they said they're sending the missing bolts. Contact them at their "sales" email address.
|
I got an email back from Brice stating that the packer was shipping it without the bolts because they were out of stock. He said he would send them to me asap. Regardless, I picked up the bolts at Lowes for 97 Cents.

Anyone else that had this issue please email me or pm. Thanks Brice |

^^ No my car does not vibrate. It only makes the noise while moving, obviously.

That is the correct size thank you for bringing it to my attention. I have ordered the bolts but they won't be here until next week. I will also refund the $3 to your account for the difference.
Anyone else that had this issue please email me or pm. Thanks Brice Brice, I was also having the same issue with the bolts. I took my shifter off once and now I can't get the top left bolt (one of 3 OEM bolts) into any of the threads. Although the other two bolts are holding it, I'm afraid the constant beating from the shifting might damage something. |
^PM AJ. He knows how to set it up right. He did mine well I was doing mt tranny fluid. Great job. Holding up perfect.
|
ive had this thing installed for about 4 months now i like it a lot but i have a question now. when i installed it i adjusted it so the shifter would just rest on the plate. when i put things back together it seems the boot pulls the shifter off the plate just a little bit and only on the odd gears. so my question is do i need to move that plate back a little bit or should i remove the boot?
|
Installed this on my wife's car. I like it, I can feel the positive stop of the shifter (even though I don't overshift). Probably more telling, my wife doesn't even know it's there.
|
haha nice. i plan on stealth modding my wife's car (when i get married.)
"honey, the car feels like it has more power, it sounds different, did you do anything to it?" "meeeeee??? of course not!" |

Thanks Brice for the prompt response!
Aside from not having the bolts, the kit itself is rather simple but it sure does the job. I can shift REALLY hard now and not worry about damaging something. It just gives you more confidence overall. Paired with my AFE Short Shifter....this thing really kicks ass! |

thanks for the reply |
