Default K-member/torque limiter

Will the frustration with the shifting finally got me, purchased the k-member/torgue limit from CHE. Should be here next week. Is anyone else running this? If so, did it help with your shifting problem.

3rd really isnt an issue with myself, i have the MGW shifter installed and have the kmember and torque limiters sitting in my garage. I just cant hit 2nd powershifting to save my life! I may have donedamage to the tranny with a couple grinders, but nowi just never try any more.So I plan on installing this soon as well and will report back hopefully resolving my 2nd gear problems. Its almost like a psych myself out lol

Interested in this myself, and how much it helps. Wonder if the prothane engine mounts would be a better buy?

Nothing will help if you've already damaged your synchro's or shift fork. I was lucky and got mine covered under warranty. Installed the limiters right away and yes I've heard the motor mounts help also. MGW shifter was a blessing, the best hands down. If while shifting normally it feels a little gravelly going into gear you may have already suffered damage. It does'nt get better only worse. Hope you all good luck and that you have'nt done any damage.

Thanks for the input, I will let you guys know as soon as I install it. Just an FYI, my shifting problem is from 3rd to 4th at high rpms, and my tranny does make a little gravelly sounds now and one another thing is when I try to launch the car hard the throw out bearing sounds like it is going to explode, anyone else have that issue?
