Night and day difference in terms of shifting feel, engagement and clutch modulation.

Car drives MUCH better than stock.

No binding or issues whatsoever during install.

Highly recommend the kit and CDV removal combo

Thanks for the update. So what about the RE kit could cause the binding? The fact it’s adjustable? Does it mean it came mis-adjusted from RE out of the box? Or did a customer/installer attempt to adjust it (improperly) themselves?

If both kits are dialed perfectly, what’s the better kit - RE or Auto Solutions? I think, in so many words, RE was saying they were coming after AS specifically and addressing any shortcomings there, but who knows.

Once installed, how difficult is it to adjust? Just pop off the shift boot? Or yank the whole thing back out?

Go read the response from RE that I posted previously. It's a pain in the ass to adjust and as far as I can tell it's just because I got one that shouldn't of passed through QC.

Edit: After driving around on it a bit: Thank god for deleting that POS CDV. No more jerky stuff because it's trying to "help" me. The shifter though? Meh. I'll order an Autosolutions SSK when they come available. Very notchy, will need a weighted knob or something to make this feel better. For $600 I feel like I kinda got ripped off. If it was $300-350 I'd say it's about right.

Ya the CDV is a giant POS.

I actually prefer notchy shifters lol. Mainly because it gives me a sense of if it is going into the proper gate. Which is why I enjoy Honda shifters so much. The AS SSK was on my list, but the price, wait time was absolutely stupid.

I'm overall quite happy with the RE kit. But I want it to be 50% shifters haha.

Thanks for this. From the video it seems like there is a much more direct feel to the shifter. Are you able to adjust the throw? I'm not so much looking for a shorter throw, just a more direct feel.

I tried, but it is a bitch to move.
Your best bet is to start with RE rear bushing and see how it feels.
If it still not enough, then get the whole SSK, but request from RE to pre-set it at close to stock throw.

Perfect, thanks! I haven't looked into it yet, but is the install of the rear bushing straight forward and quick? Meaning, no need to remove any major components like installing the whole shifter does? I certainly have the experience to do so, but would rather not for just a rear bushing if that makes sense haha.

EDIT: I found a video of the install. Just have to remove the exhaust and heat shield. A bit annoying to install a bushing but I'll probably do it some day. On the meantime, if anyone out there has done just the bushing and wants to chime in with their thoughts I'd appreciate it.

If you are working on the car while on a lift, you should be able to reach in and remove the rear bushing without the need to remove anything.
While working on the ground with jack stands, I am not so sure. I know for sure that I won't be able get up after doing that, lol.

Thanks! I just saw a second video where they just bent the heat shield out of the way. Should be easy peasy.
