I don't know. Think the jury might be out a while.

Indeed. I'd definitely recommend anyone who's interested in this to purchase and upgraded tranny mount. I upgraded mine when I changed the clutch/CSC/CMC/pedal so I'm ahead of the curve. On the other hand, due to the way the assembly is put together, there is enough give where I don't think most people would be put off by it. I'd still recommend it.

A couple more things. Did Coolerworx send you over written instructions? Also, since Coolerworx is going to be making the proper plate that will be able to screw into the stock holes will they be making this available to those of us that have already purchased the shifter?

Haven't driven it yet since I've been relocating my O2 sensor since before I had it coming through the dust boot. However, just going through the gears when I was setting up the lockout it... how should I phrase this... It ***** all over the TWM. I mean, this thing is the Kobe beef of shifters.

The instructions I received were partially written and partially pictures. I had to take those, plus the instructions/pictures Nik sent me and combine them along with what I had done to make it complete. Neither of theirs had assembly instructions, though.

From what I can tell, he does plan on making a new plate but when and whether or not he plans to replace/reimburse the "V1" customers I do not know. I sent him pictures, measurements and suggestions on what I thought could be improved (making the plate a semi-H form) and he seemed very receptive to what I was saying so the ball is in his court.

Did you replace your tranny mount with a solid aluminum or urethane?

Can't wait to hear what your impression is when you get it back on the road!

The instructions and pictures you posted seem pretty complete, do you think I would need anything additional from Coolerworx?

Yeah, I'm sure mine will be installed before a newer version plate will be out anyway.

Sorry, I could've swore I replied to this earlier but I guess I typed it then went to another page on my phone...

I upgraded to a Z1 urethane transmission mount.

I drove the Z back/forth to work since I forgot to shoot my boss an email on Friday but from the short drive I love the way it feels. Don't get me wrong, I loved the TWM but I love this one that much more...

Honestly, you shouldn't need anything else beyond what I put. However, if you have any issues during the install feel free to reply here or PM me and I'll help you out if I'm able.

If you plan on installing it within the next few weeks then most likely, yes. Not sure if/when the updated version will be out...

I'm going to go ahead and order the Z1 urethane mount too, the urethane one seems to be the more popular choice over the solid mount.

Glad to hear you're really happy with it so far. Any minor shift pin lock out adjustmemts needed?

After reading your instructions, it looks pretty straight forward, it wouldn't have been otherwise. Thanks for offering your assistance if I run into problems.

My car is in the shop getting supercharger mods done and then goes into Specialty Z on Sept. 4th for re-tune. At this stage I'll probably wait until I get it back from tune to install the shifter. Maybe I'll contact Coolworx and see if and when they think they might have a new plate fabricated. How did you contact Donatas at Coolerworx?

After the initial adjustment I haven't changed it but I'll probably check it again in a week or so just to be sure.

No problem, helping out is what the forum is for. Just doing my part since I've used the DIYs others have posted.

To contact them, I just sent them a message on Facebook. He's usually pretty quick to reply.
