[QUOTE="chadr0, post: 14717149, member: 153326"] i finally got around to installing mine today and WOW this thing shifts like a dream now. I had their gen 2 shifter on my past 5.0 and it was great, but the race spec is incredible. if you have an MT-82 car you NEED this. I'm eager to swap in some Amsoil tranny fluid and really get that thing working in tip top shape. Few install notes: 1.) Completely dropping the transmission crossmember gives you a little more room to work. 2.) IMO the hardest part was getting the rubber shift boot to seat, I found it easier to use the alternate method mentioned in the install vid instead of the one shown. 3.) If you have a GT, you basically have to have someone hang on the drive shaft to get it low enough to remove/install the front/top bolt. Overall, there is a VERY slight increase in noise from the transmission, however, it's not a net increase since getting rid of the stock reverse lockout system has stopped that stupid plastic pull up collar from rattling when shifting. If there's going to be noise when I'm shifting, I'm much happier hearing the mechanical parts of the car versus a plastic rattle. [/QUOTE]
