just installed the e/dampener, the replica one, not stillen....will report back in a few days......if it lessens my 1-2 and 2-3rd nothcie shifts, it'll be worth it.....
a little off topic, where's the guideplate and can we adjust that? read somewhere that the shifting notchieness can be attributed to this guideplate? thanks.

Yeah I shift manually though, there is like a one second delay...(i know a valve body would help) but looking to help even more with this...also save some power loss with the engine shifting...u notice that??

Can't really say about the savings to drivetrain loss, I put this in the night before I had my Utec installed and tuned. FWIW, my tq numbers are higher than I have ever seen from my car, and were as high before the tune, but I'm sure the cooler weather had as much to do with that as anything. The car was already pretty responsive before the ED though, so I can't really say I noticed, but overall it is much more pleasurable to drive. I'd be real curious to see how this helps you.

I've seen this done for years w/ v8s. Most typically use a turnbuckle though. I've even seen cable and chain used but there's no adjustablity using that method.
