I have the complete viscoustech kit. The side to side adaptor made a noticeable difference. For example when I am in fifth gear, the stick seems to be in the third gear location!

It should fit with DC since the side-side adaptor is connected on the other cable (not on the shifter stick:



Good luck!

I ordered from viscoustech directly using their web site. For the price you can't go wrong! I am very pleased with the complete product. Easy to install and solid. The shipping took time, but that because I live in Canada and my package was stuck at the custom!

Ah ok... So don't be surprised to wait for 2 weeks instead of the 5-7 days...

Send an e-mail before to viscoustech to see if you can have a tracking number with your order. That way you will know where it is! You should also ask if they can write "sample" or something like that on the box because the custom charged me 15$ of custom fee!!! for the complete kit. I was pissed!

BTW, since you seem to be modding your shifter a lot, you should also look for Precision shifter bushings of CapYoda. I received mine yesterday, I will install them shortly...

Order quick, cause they just told me that they are only going to sell the kit to other distribution companys now, and the price is going to go up.

I can always make one, Like I tried to today, but failed miseribly.

Anyways, they told me I got the last one they plan to sell to the public themselves.

Try to e-mail them... maybe they will do an exeption for you

Or they say that they will sell it in bulk... start a Group buy?

just FYI, They said this when they requested my payment for the kit (cause the site wasn't working)

"congradulations on your purchase of the very last shifter we plan to sell directly to the public. Any further sales will be exclusively through other companies."

And when I asked about the pricing, cause I'm lookin out for my 7thgen peeps. They said this,

"the price in the future will be
determined by the companies selling them."

I'll give my thoughts on the kit as soon as I get it installed.

They prob won't make an acception. I was talkin to them in email and they told me I got the last one they will actually be selling, and no exceptions. So you gotta wait till other places get the product.

Just got my kit today, and within 10 minutes it was installed. I LOVE IT! Now I gotta relearn my driving techniques cause the gears go in soo smooth and so much faster.

I was driving like usual, and I was over reving all most every gear because my feet couldn't keep up with the shifter. GOD I LOVE IT!

So what setting are you using?

Side-side I am at the lowest, Fore-Aft I am at the highest.

Do you have the aluminium bushing kit? If no, go get some! The combo is awesome!
