it's the lack of corporate daddies

I do try to let a bit more of my personality out on this channel. I try to keep things professional on the FTspeed channel. Maybe I'll change that.

@@KevinVowe’re u fired?

I could only post 4 at a time. I listed Trueno Blue in another post!

@@KevinVo I think you may have replied to the wrong comment :). Have a good one man, love your content and you inspired me to order one of these. I am super nervous to try to install it though.

@derp oops haha if I can do it so can you!

I’ve never ever been good at these things at all, I grew up in a family that brought vehicles in to have things fixed/done. You just gotta try and take your time. I started to learn how to do things not to long ago and I’ve had a great time learning. Ik if I was able to learn anyone can do just go for it my man!

Good news, it'll be available soon!!!

It's available now! Check them out on our website!

It didn't stay in that car. It lives in my frs where I wear gloves so should be good!

I don't know if you ever got your answer, Rafael - but it is smaller. I THINK it's 19mm. If you still need the measurement, you can @ me and I'll go outside and measure. I'd do it right now, but its raining lol

Likely due to the short shifter

Yes, the Cusco brace is another great option and you can pair them with their inserts as well I believe.

Hi Kevin. I don’t really understand your answer on boost331’s question. Can you confirm if this shift knob will work on the new car ?

@@janhuybs2013 sorry I must've replied to the wrong comment. Yes this knob fits on the stock shifter.

Unfortunately not :(

The notchiness comes from inside the gearbox, usually from the synchro rings engagement. By using a short shifter, more stress is put on the synchros since they have less time to synchronize (brake) gears, and so the notchiness is exacerbated.

Essentially what Gabriel said, it's not so much because of the shifter in this case, it's more due to the fact that since the throws are shorter you're feeling a bit more of the "action" in the gearbox whereas with the stock shifter it dissipates throughout the longer throw.

@@KevinVo...do you think a change in trans fluid would help reduce the notchy-ness? Adding mass (weighted knob) will absorb some of the vibrations, but that comes with its own set of issues/downsides.

@@K03sport I don't believe so. A weighted shift knob would make the biggest difference.

Send them an email, they'll be more than happy to help.

Did you figure it out

@@fayizd654 @billetworkz has a fix

I switch to the STI SS…. now I have tried 3 different brands,,, they all rattle…!

@@robertogatti8290 did you email billetworkz?

No, but they're coming out with one for the 1st gen soon!

We have them available for the 1st gen now!

Nothing wrong with the stock shifter at all, like I said I actually like it! I just like the short shifter more haha

🤣🤣🤣

I just did the install earlier today - I was able to do everything from inside the vehicle. It was actually pretty easy. I have medium hands (I wear M sized Mechanix gloves) and it wasn't a struggle whatsoever. Just make sure you got your 90 degree snap ring pliers. Go slow. Be deliberate. I walked the linkage boot up until it cleared the snap ring + linkage. Sorta stuffed it out of the way. Carefully, with one hand holding the snapring pliers and the other hand holding a finger against the snapring, it just came right off. No problem. The reinstall with the Billetworkz was even easier than removing the factory one. You should be putting some white lithium grease everywhere. Some residual grease in naturally going to get on the boot. In addition, the finish of the billetworkz is much smoother than the stock unit, so it's much easier to slide the boot over. Took me maybe 30 minutes, all from inside the car. If you drop the snap ring, it'll just drop on the ground underneath. Make sure you have your magnetic grab tool handy.
