I've installed everything including Grey's upgraded pins and washers, and Capyoda's bushings.
Just wondering how much side to side play everyone has while in gear? Just move your shifter left to right how much you got? Mine seems a little sloppy, but I can't remember what it was like stock....
Can anyone help me out?

have Cap Yoda's washers, just received Greys kit, need to get the Revo SS installed. I noticed a difference with just Cap Yoda's kit, it was a little but better, not as much play at all. But I always play with it in neutral, the shifter I mean. <-- had to clear that up...

I have the Revo SS + Grey's kit. When in neutral, i have like a few millimeters of play. When I'm in gear, I have a little bit more, but I don't really care... I mean, does play in the shifter decrease the performance any? I would have boughten CAP's Bushings kit, but I still don't know what they are, or where they go... Do they replace the rubber busings under where you install the bolts to attach the shifter to the body of the car? Pix of it installed anybody?

where do you get capyoda's bushings?

The whole design of the Honda cable shifter results in a bit of play.
I have the whole set myself and I have a bit of play too.

If you really wanted to remove the illusion of play you could fabricate a top gate that would restrict side to side movement.

Sad thing is now I don't even notice the shifts being shorter.. I have adapted..... /sigh

Slump

Yes, The cap's kit replaces the stock rubber bushings that mount the shifter to the car with aluminum bushings resulting in the entire assembly not moving freely and flexing around. It makes hard shifts much easier to feel as you don't feel the assembly moving.


Question about Revo SS> Is the shifter assemble completely different or is just the actual shift lever shorter?

Some of that side-to-side play that you're talking about is because of the design of the shifter assembly. If I think of a design that will cure this, then I will sell it as part of my SS Upgrade Kit. There should be no up and down play when in gear though.

clownprince...both. It both has shorter side to side, and shorter front to back, and the stick is shorter. What more could you ask for . And for the side-to-side play, some guy just made a thread about 2 days ago about it. You have to file down a rubber stop. Search.

it's called "fixed the play in my Revo SS" or something very similar.

^^^ yes u are correct. someone just made a topic about it. but ya, capyoda and grey's kits are the **** for real! they made the revo so much better. it feels solid like my friends jetta shifter. not cinchy and cheesy like most jap car shifters.

kudos to capyoda,greys and drnknmnky. With all three "fixes" my revo shifter works great! Any one going to the trouble and expence of a revo is crazy if they don't apply these.

what do you mean yagatawana so I have to get capyoda and greys to have the revo work better for me

I finally got the complete combo and yes, there is a difference in play. Especially if you are one of those people who slam in your gears. It makes it nice and tight when speed shifting, along with the Revo SS. I am very satisfied with the upgrades to the Revo SS.

yes, the capyoda kit keeps the entire shifter assembly from "flexing" because it replaces the rubber (which moves and flexes) bushings that attach the shifter to the body of the car with aluminum bushings (which dont move or flex). grey's kit replaces the chincy pins that hold the cables in place with new, stronger coter pins. the kit also comes with new washers so the primary cable doesnt move side to side which makes an annoying clicking noise.

your shifts from gear to gear will be much cleaner, and feel alot better with those two kits added to the revo short shifter. If you do the other DIY to fix the side to side play while in gear, you will have a very solid shifter assembly.

Like I said if your going thru all the trouble...do it as right as you can. Trimming the plastic from the spring stop area got rid of 98%of the side slop and kinda helps you forget that your shifting thru a big hunka plastic...but it works and untill some one machines a nice billet gate...oh well.

i belived that Capyoda sells his bushing kit for 16 shipped, and GREY sells his kit for 6 dollars shipped. Both are good investments.

Also, I think you can get the Revo SS a lil cheaper. I bought mine from Carsoption. I believe he used to be a vendor, but i'm not sure if he still is. I paid 89 shipped. Good deal.

 
Rep Power: 368

yup $16 shipped in the US,

$17 in canada.

had to raise canada price by $1 cuz the extra fees from paypal and the extra postal cost was adding on..

Don't quote me on this, but i have heard B&M has recently came out with a short shifter for the 7thgen. If this is true, then I would bet money their shifter feels a lot stronger, and with Capyoda's kit i'm sure the kit would be like a rock. I've heard nothing but good things from B&M. I remember putting a B&M short shifter in a celica and it made a huge difference and it was strong as hell.

It's the same thing as the RSX one. Check out ClubRSX.com for a DIY and some pics. It looks nice. More expensive though.

 
Rep Power: 0

Oh, btw, a question. What kind of greese should i buy to regreese the SS?

 
Rep Power: 368

with B&M's short shift kit, you wouldn't need my bushing kit.. they include 4 aluminum bushing in theirs too. and its anodized blue!

argh. lol.

but its also running at like ~$180

although I'm sure it wont have any of the problems the adapters, the revo, and anything else might have.. looks like quality stuff. I would get it, except for the price. cuz essentially its just like a revo + bushing. just better craftsmanship.

its a value thing. if its worth it to you, I would wait for it to come out.. (or is it already being distributed?)

or just go ahead and save $80 bucks on something that does the same thing for cheaper price.

Don't get me wrong, I have the REVO SS with your kit Capyoda. I'm just saying, I heard B&M is coming out with a SS. If it's $180 bux I will just keep my REVO SS, becuase that's a steep price.

But then again there is only a couple other things that my hand spends that much time around...LOL.

CAPYODA + GARY + REVO SS = GOOD BUY AND WELL WORTH YOUR TIME.

 
Rep Power: 368

hmm? u must have read my thread wrong.

cuz I was praising the B&M SS kit, it is coming out for a fact, but the prices I saw for it so far is rather expensive.

for those with money though, they should consider that...

course, if we all had money, why are we driving civics.

revo + bushings+ similar to greys kit(i think) i had washers and eclips and stuff in my shop already so i just tinkered with it till there was no rattling/looseness

and yea i would say aside from i/p&p/h/e tuned the revo was by far the best mod i put in
