now to clean off the gunk left behind. oh and did i mention the bushing is AMAZING? my shifts are buttery smooth again. and i noticed there is a slight hum when decelerating now, but hardly noticeable

nice! glad to hear there was at least some advantage over the stock one after all the hassle.

now go

honestly, even if you shift hard sometimes, its only a matter of time before it goes. when it goes you have a dirty mess and a really bad shifts (unless you slip the clutch alot). i bought 3 quarts of redline mt-85 to change the trans oil this week before i noticed the diff bushing gone. i have 40k miles on mine with ~5 track days and im guessing mine went out in the last 5k miles.

i wish i wouldve changed it sooner, before it went out as a preventative measure. would've attempted a DIY instead of pay someone 100/hr to install it (properly)

40k miles and 5 track days is not bad i suppose.
