T-Neck, where in CF are you? I'm in Casselberry (N Orlando).

Live Beachside (Satellite Beach) but spend a lot of time off red bug. I'll be home this weekend for a month. Any good meets or hooligan activities going on? I'll also be prepping for FL2k14..

I wouldn't know. I'm not involved with the local scene at all.

If you're on FB, theres a page called Central Florida Car Enthusiasts that i'm on. a decent amount of higher HP boys that show up to some of the meets. There may or may not also be some extracurricular activities that happen after said meets, if you're into that sort of thing.

First impression is good. Shifts are smooth and direct. Under heavy load the shifts aren't much different then just cruising. It's impressive.

I accelerated while turning and did a 1-2 shift without any nibble or lock out. Repeated a little faster doing a 2-3 shift also without issue. Everyone knows shifts get ALL fucked up under some load while turning.

Took off from a dig the best I could and power shifted 1-2-3-4. No drama, nibble, grind, lockout, nothing! This bracket actually works!

It's not all sunshine and rainbows though. The NVH increase is quite noticable so I have to adjust it.

I'm gonna jack it back up tomorrow morning and lower the shifter another 1/8" or 1/4". It's pretty obvious to see the shifter is too high. I installed the upper bracket leaving a 1/8" gap in the slots as per instructions but I think it needs more. The vibrating noise goes away when I push the shifter down about 1/4"

I'll update as things progress. So far I'm super happy with it regardless of having to tweak it.

promising initial review man! how much range of adjustment is there? so what's causing your NVH? is it hitting the trans tunnel from being too high maybe? I'm thinking I'm gonna order one of these brackets or a Bob's oil separator as my next mod, need to see a few more positive reviews before I decide.......

There's tons of adjustment. I adjusted it this morning and there's still some vibrating under load. 3000-6000 rpm. Gonna try a little more spacing and see whats up. Trial and error I guess. One person asked if it was hitting the old studs so I'm gonna look into that as well.

Just a little while ago I went for broke on my 3-4 shift. Flat out powershift at 7200 and it went to 4th like BUTTER!!

This IS the cure for the shifter. I'm sure of it. Now to hunt down that vibration and it's golden.

Did you have any notchy shifting during normal driving conditions prior to the blowfish bracket? If so, would you say the bracket cleaned up the smoothness of the shifting overall?

I have issues shifting from second to third while in a right hand turn, right about 4,800-5,000rpm. Also, have issues shifting from second to third, left hand turn around 3krpm. Would any of you guys be able to test this out while making turns? On a track of course.

Yes it was notchy before the bracket. The shifting now is hard to explain. I have the stock shifter and the shifts are so smooth and fast you almost doubt your actually in gear. It feels NOTHING like the car used to. It has to be experienced.

It's hard to actually describe how much better it actually is.

I'll try some turning shifts for you Mr.Q when I get back home this evening.
