hmm, how to start this review. i guess in chronological order.
so andrew and i put the car up on ramps and jackstands. everything going smoothly. then "clip from hell" oh god. beyond impossible. the total install took us about 2.5 hours. 1.5 hours of that was trying to get the clip off, another 15-20 minutes getting it back on. then getting the rubber boot over the carrier was actually pretty freaking tough too. but other than those three steps, the install was simple.
review...
everyone has posted their opinions on the SSK and i have nothing really to add. here are my impressions though... effort increased, but nothing really bad and actually the extra effort made the shift feel more solid by 100x. the shifts are very short and crisp. i had to redefine how i clutched. the ssk with the clutch stop is really a great combo. i havent yet experienced extra noise (a little more "engine" noise, but nothing excessive). the kit makes downshifts SO much easier. i have nothing but good things to say about the uuc ssk. tons better than stock.
