why would anyone buy the revo if you can juss add 40 bucks for a better shifter?

 

1) Where can you buy the buddy club shifter?
2) Why is it better than the Revo?

idk, but Revo just came out with their version 2 shifter and I believe it is adjustable.

Just don't get it from carsoption.com. Took a month to get mine.

huh?

The revo ss is a full replacement. Adaptors that add onto your stock shifters ususally only shorten throws 1-3-5... leaving 2-4-R stock distance.

while you guys are on the topic of short shiters, would getting metal bushings make any difference? i remember my friend telling me to get them =|

i never got them but they are supposed to increase feel and eliminate some more play.... they arent expensive but I wouldnt say it's a must.

idk bout the BC one, but i love my revo. and the second version of it IS adjustable from stock to short however you want it. they market it towards the rsx.
assembley>adapter
EDIT: i got the metal bushings and the greys kit too. its all worth it. there is NO play.

Revo is the way to go. The shifts are much more firm and tight. It is one of the best mods you can do.

isnt the buddy club ss a full replacement, too?

the one for the 5 speed rsx fits out car..

 

Anyone want to defend the buddyclub ss? I'll be buying a short shifter REALLY soon, so is it really worth the extra 40 bucks just for the name? I'm pretty sure they are both full-replacement shifters, and I know the v2 of the Revo is adjustable. I head rumors of the stick breaking on the revo, though. 99% of what I've read on the revo is that it's great and totally worth it...basically, does anyone have the buddyclub ss, what are your thoughts, please speak up!

I'll be ordering the buddy (most likely) once I find a shift **** I like to put on it

the Revo has been proven to be a great mod on our cars. Go with what is trusted. The stick of the revo is about a 3/8" steel rod.. try to break that. the upgrade kit does help with play and stiffness over all but isnt needed.

over at clubRSX they say BC for durability. I don't know how it breaks, but the fact that it does is all I need to know

Just wondering because a SS is most likely my next mod.. where do you get the version 2 of the Revo SS, also where do you get the bushings and grey's kit? I heard those 2 things makes the shift clean.

i had a revo, the plastic broke. was the first version, non adjustable.

the base where the ball end of the shifter is, the plastic cracked. i had to drive home and 3rd gear was the lowest gear i could use (1 and 2 were impossible to get into)

just wanted to let people know THATS how they break, not the metal shaft

 
Rep Power: 336

question. was it cause it was not properley greased? im just wondering. cause the one i have is used for like 50k i think. i mean its not broke right now and it feels fine.

i got it used (read: free throw in when i bought the car). there was a ton of grease down in there, the plastic ball just cracked down the center. probably could have JB welded it back together, but didn't bother.

 

Check out robearracing.com for the G2 version of the revo. Yay free shipping!

Not only did I break it, I snapped the rod in half on my way home today. I just think that Revo didn’t use the best materials, nor did they weld the parts that need to be welded very well. I am sure that with there 2nd gen. they did a much better job. Also does anyone know how adjustable the 2nd gen. of Revo is? Can you adjust it to make it even shorter?

^^^ agreed, it's very clear to the eyes that the OE plastic is better.

i say revo build quality isn't very good. several of my friends have rsx-s's both old and the new 05-06. they say they've talked to several people on their forum that have had their revo ss shift rod snap. i think there's a video my friend showed me where a guy snapped his while he was racing. so yea just cuz it's made of steel doesn't mean it's impossible to break.

While we are on the topic of SS's does anyone have any reviews regarding the B&M version? How good is it and does this one replace the whole shifter?

Just installed one and like it a lot.

Very nicely made and uses the stock housing.
