Anyone have the Revo SS on an 03 EX?

Or 04 I guess..or any model that came with an armrest. Doesn't the armrest kinda get in the way of the shifter? I kind of already have to reach over the armrest to shift...but maybe it's the way I sit. Anyone have it with an armrest, and is it alright?

Yep. The height of the Revo against the arm rest is perfect.

I agree the Revo and the arm rest are the perfect height, easy to shift with just your wrist not your whole arm as with stock.

Oh and d17, just wrap your hand around the silver ring, twist to the left, and pull down, it'll come off pretty easily.

ponyman is on a distinguished road
Revo SS rocks, get it, get Grey's kit, and get some metal bushings. While your at it, get a new shift ****, I recommend the base RSK ****. That setup owns, of course that is what I have so I am biased.

this is my revo ss and momo air ****!
i have all the upgrades for it. i got them all at once so i cant give you the honest difference but,
i love it. greys kit is like 6$ capyodas is 10-15$ but he was out so i got one on ebay from alluminumbushings.com (<<they know each other i think) for 20$ the revo i got from hondawerx for 97$ shipped to my door very fast ..
and all that together =some sweet *** shifting. the response is next to none.
i also decided to use litheum grease instead of what they provided. that was like 6$
for some crazy reason it all arivved on the same day too, the first time that has ever happened to me. the best thing about doing all the upgrades at once is i dont have to take the console and shifter apart more than once.

It essentially makes you go faster, because there is less lag between changing gears. The short shifter is like half (well almost) the length of the stock shifter, just think how much faster it is to go from 1-2, and so on.

^Yes it is. You will have better response with shifting and everything will be real smooth.

Very worth it.....my g/f has a 2004 and i have a 2003....she just got hers...and drove mine for the 1st time last night...she liked the shift sooo much more she orderd one today but is not going to go with the bushings and such until she sees the difference between mine and hers.....

as for the install....VERY simple.....i think i was one of the 1st to do the install without the VERY HELPFUL DIY.......i got all the screws out but the ones hidden in the actual box......those i pulled out with brute force....including that time it only took me 2 hrs......i did one for my friend last mth and took 30 mins. just take ur time and make sure u are doing it right!

I LOVE THE SET UP THOUGH....it was my 1st mod and i would reccomend it as a 1st to anyone!

Pop down the leather (vinyl I guess) boot from beneath your shift ****. It pulls straight down. Then you can unscrew the **** no problem.
