shifter bushings? You don't have to take the seat out to take the center console out.

the bushings are a separate component from the Revo SS, you can use the stock bushings, or the ones you have, its up to you.

Im not too sure about that, but i think i heard that it is prob possible but doesnt really do anything. Just get the Revo SS. Its really nice, easy to install and everything. I hav one and i did it u der 45 minutes, but thats just because i had trouble getting the center console out. I can prob do it in 20 minutes now so its really easy.

Oh and that meet that people r talking about is at my house and there will be plenty of people who know how to install it for u if u get it. U r definitely welcome to come.

if i remember correctly, the DC adapter can only be used with the first(older) version of the Revo SS for our car. the one you get will most likely be the new style. why do you want the Revo? shorter shift lever, or shorter throw, if its just a shorter throw, then you dont need the Revo, dont waste your money. if you want a shorter(height) shifter, as in, deeper in the boot, then you want the Revo.

What are you guys talking about? The Revo changes the angle of the cable shifter and it shortens the rod. Overall it a short throw. The DC sports short shift adaptor just changes the angle of the cable shift. Why would you want the revo + DC? That makes no sense. It is a 20 min job, 30 min at most to swap the old shifter for the revo. It is a 10 min job just for the DC adaptor.

i agree with you rob, but i thought that on the first version of the Revo you can use both, which is why they revised it...

either way, i know you have one, and i liked the feel of it, and you would know better than me, i just thought i heard that somewhere, i do know that there was a post about it

well, like i said, if you want a shorter stick, then, yeah, get the Revo. However, if you just want shorter throws, your adapter does the same thing.

well, it depends. to some, ours is too high, to others, they may feel that its more cost effective to pay ~ the same $ as for the adapter while gettin shorter throws and a shorter stick at the same time. its just a matter of taste

The bushings won't do much for an adaptor. The bushings are made for the Revo/OBX because it has a tendency to move around. The bushings really provide much help for an adaptor. Are we talking about a short shifter or do you need someone's help in the area? This topic has gotten off topic.
