Are there 2 different versions of revo's? 'cause you say the solo and revo don't fit together and the person that got dc sports and revo to fit together has a revo that looks different than yours Grey.

Different? Really? Where did you see this picture? [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]
Edit #1: Nevermind, found it. REVO technica and DC shift adapter DO FIT...pics inside This is whack! Either mine isn't the Revo Technica SS or that one isn't. It looks like mine has the cable attachment point already built in higher than that one does. WTF!? I'll take another pic.
Edit #2: Here they are...

Rep Power: 395 I know, isn't that odd though. I guess the latest Revo Technica has a relocated cable attachment point? Maybe the earlier versions didn't? Although mine could be a knock-off or vice versa. I bought mine off of Ebay, so you never know... Where did your friend buy his? Oh, here's a good comparison shot:

Rep Power: 0 I have the revo system also , Just got it last week, and it looks just like Grey's (the one on the right).
This is very confusing cause if the one with the dc sports ss adapter is also a revo then there will be confusion about this subject. Maybe rob can sort this out if he has multiple revo systems in stock. I changed my mind and was planning on getting a dc sports ss adapter, but now I will wait till this confusion has played out and been solved.
Edited:
I think i got it now. Theres TWO (YES 2) versions of the Revo system out for our civics. The one Grey and I have is found in the above pic on the right hand side. The one someone sells on ebay is found below.
As you can see, the connection for the cable is located in a different location for the person who sells the systems on ebay. Thus if you get one of his adapters, the DC sports SS adapter will work. Hell, the solo SS adapter might even work.

Hope this clears up the confusion.

Rep Power: 0 Who's the dealer you bought it off grey? I want to get your version so I can sell my adapter and recoup some cash. It does look like your Revo is just the same as that guys revo+adapter.

In the following picture you'll see the red metal bushings.
You get eight bushings. 4 sit on top of the shifter and 4 sit directly under the shifter. All eight are held in by the bolts.
The following aerial pic shows the 4 bolts I am talking about.
This link shows in step 7 the rubber bushings that you remove to install the kumosport bushings.

hmmm, I bought the revo system from www.autodynamic.com and got the same revo shifter you did. I wonder where MyCivic bought his revo shifter system from.

Rep Power: 0 That's what it seems to look like. Grey must have a 5spd RSX model Revo. Unless of course, revo just made a new revision that would fit both the base RSX and civic. I can't see any diff.
Grey, do you have a product code on that revo you can give us? Maybe on the box it came in?

Rep Power: 395 Holy smack my *****! You guys are right. I have the Revo Technica for the RSX 5 Speed. If you go to Revo Technica's website then you can clearly see than the one I have is the one for the RSX 5 speed and the one that the DC Sports short shifter adapter fits on is for the 2001 Civic. Whoa! 
I didn't even notice that. I guess we can use either one. Maybe Revo Technica stopped producing the one for the 2001 Civic and just went with the one for the RSX 5 speed since they're interchangeable? I don't have any sort of identification number that I can give you, but if you compare the pictures you can clearly see that mine is the same as the RSX 5 speed.

Rep Power: 0 If you download the PDF instructions for the installation of the Revo Tecnica SS, you'll see that there is a number listed in the upper right corner of the instruction sheet. The part # for the 2001+ Honda Civic Short Shifter is SS-HC01.
I didn't see part #'s for any other products though.
Nonetheless, if you're going to order this product, make sure you have the right one coming to you.

Rep Power: 344 er... I wonder which one will work better then.. the rsx one, or the civic one..
cuz if you look at it, by using the rsx one, the cable is relocated to where an adapter would relocate it to... so does that mean the rsx one gives it shorter throw?
I just purchased the Neuspeed adapter a few days ago... I'll be reciving it in awhile I think... I didn't want to lower my stick's height, that'll enable the armrest to be useless... I think.
btw, the revo one for the civic looks too much like the stock one.. this is comparing to the diagram at hondaautomotiveparts.com though.. I know this is a heated debate, but I still wonder if the revo is a valid product that actually does what it says it does.
although, the Neuspeed one I just bought, seems to be too pricy for what it really is.. I highly doubt it cost them 20 bucks to make it... let alone charging 90 bucks for it... oh well, paying for the brand I guess.

Rep Power: 0 The plastic base of the Revo looks exactly like the stock one, why would you want it to look any other way? The stick is where the difference is. Much shorter height and throw, a great improvement over stock. One of the best mods I have done. I don't really see the need to add another short shifter to the Revo, seems like overkill.
Grey, I have the same Revo as you.

Rep Power: 0 OK guys, just got off the phone with roger from autodynamic.com.
He's a real cool guy.
different story now. He got off the phone with revo and they said the one on the right is the newer model that came out cause people were demanding a shorter throw and were equiping there older models with aditional short shift adapters (dc sports, solo, etc). The one on the right is the newer model and he said has a lightly shorter throw then the one on the left.

Rep Power: 0 look at the picture above and you'll see why REVOTECHNICA modified there short shifter. The new version is similar to the old version with the dc sports short shifter adapter installed. See on both pictures where the cable attaches and youll understand.

Rep Power: 0 I just checked the revo website, and they still show the civic model different than the rsx 5-spd model. So is the moral of the story, get the rsx model for a shorter throw? Sorry, I'm a newb, and I realize this post is old, I'm still a tad confused for some reason. Thanks for any help.
