I just ordered it and will definitely be putting it in the freezer overnight to help move the process along but I had the same idea jack up the tranny relieve some stress shove the mother f'er in there
Fuzzy it is not "RUBBER" it is a polyurethane similar to what the dif bushing is from CS. Multiple people including myself have frozen the dif bushing with great results. Even if freezing the mount doesnt help thats fine but it certainly wont hurt. However, I would be all ears to hear your explanation on how the freezer will hurt a poly bushingAre you insane? It's rubber. Putting it in the freezer is not going to help you--in fact, it's going to hurt you. Big time.
Thx for the review Fuzzy my shifter is already incredibly notchy so we will see how this goes when i do it on wednesday
Haha ok I will be sure to move the change from my cupholders however, I usually just use them for cups believe it or not.
It goes in tomorrow and will post up my results in here as well.

I installed this today with the tips from Fuzzy it went extremely smooth. I was able to pry it in without much issue.
I put the vehicle on the ground and shifted gears and it felt good real solid I was excited had just gotten out of an 11 hour shift had been up for over 24hours and went to bed. Woke up late and had to head back into work. I reversed out of my driveway and it felt great. I started driving put it in first... then second? Second? What the hell. Trying to get it into second gear while moving was extremely difficult and when you got it in it would vibrate horrifically unless i held it to the bottom left of the shifter gate with all my strength then it wouldn't vibrate. I said ok lets try 3rd and that was smooth like first. I then tried 4th and everytime you tried to put it in it sound like gears grinding it was terrible. I put it in 5th that was fine even 6th was ok.
Anyone have any ideas why this could be happening? I have the (custom short shifter) and am thinking of maybe adjusting that bottom bolt that hooks to the linkage. I know people have said sometimes if the nut is too tight or loose it can cause issues but does anyone else have any ideas?

@Revshift I was hoping not to have to change my mounts but it looks like I may have to do that sooner than later if I cant figure this out. I am most likely going to try and modify the bolt and see if that helps. Fuzzy what short shifter are you using currently?
@SevillianSTS I was thinking the same thing as it seems like the angle is most likely off but I dont want to start grinding it down. I am going to have to take a look at it again tomorrow and see what I can come up with.
If anyone else has any suggestions please feel free to share

@Fuzzy I did the shifter about 9 months ago but i believe it was in neutral during install. I would link you to *************** that had pictures of the shifter I installed but am not sure if that is agains forum rules/policy or notWhen I installed the insert I did a custom short throw similar to the pisnuoff (sp?) version, and upgraded all shifter bushings. This combo made my shifts more solid and have less play than the TR6060 shifters in the 5th gen camaros.
xbladr: pop the shifter handle/surround off and make sure the shifter is hitting or binding on anything in the console (like the big chunk of foam or rubber grommet) from boost in height from the insert. try removing that stuff and see if you can shift into 2nd and 4th . If not in there, jack up the car and have someone try to put it in second and forth while you're watching from underneath to see what is binding.
@NC-V Thanks I will give that a shot. If I am sitting still i can put it in every gear in fact it seems to go in nicely or atleast it feels like it is going in every gear. Mine is also similar to brians (pisnuoff).
Adjusted the bolt this morning with no luck all it seemed to do was make it easier (loosen) or harder (tighten) to get it into 5,6, or R. Any other ideas guys I can feel it go into gear when im sitting there put the clutch in you can feel it nice and solid in 2 and 4 but when you go to drive if i dont pull it real hard bottom left second gear will rattle and you can feel it... 4th gear you can't really get it in and when i did at slow speed it almost feels like a clutch or flywheel spinning around and at a certain point its u can feel the bump... bump... bump... bump.. with that pause and the faster in the rpm range u go the faster you feel the vibration.
I may just yank this revshift block out. I am not blaming revshift but, not sure what else to try.
