Update on that UPR ( JHR) tranny mount: i e-mailed them last night and got this response.

Quote from UPR.


Our poly bushing is black. Other companies offer it in other colors such as yellow. It is definitely urethane. Delrin is as hard as plastic.

Well, there you have it, looks like our bushing is poly, but i find it VERY hard like plastic don't you think !!!

 

My JHR shift bracket with urethane bushing is blue, no black. I believe the first batch was yellow. No noticeable increase of NVH as far as I can tell.

 

Roberto, i'm thinking what a few of us got is a Delrin bushing, not a poly.
Do you remenber how hard your bushing is. Mine is like very hard plastic. How would i differenciate the two before i call them !

 

^^^

I remember it not being hard at all ("that's what she said"). It didn't feel like hard plastic, you could tell it was made of rubber. If you press hard with you fingers the bushing should compress a little.

 

Ok, so definately not a poly in my case, this thing is as hard as rock. I'll call them in the morning. Thx
Here is a photo of my bushing:

 

Hmmmm!!
That's what she said!!

 

I find it hard to believe that this is poly too. I heard everything on my commute to work today, even idle at a stoplight I can hear a whooshing sound. I'll be calling them tomorrow too.

 

You're on my case lol.....

 

Sorry, had to!

 

Mgw ftw just saying lol

Yeah that black bushing sure looks solid to me.

 

Umm if you can buy one...

I called and they said it would be 3 months before they'd be shipping them.

 

Cannot wait that long either, my car will be stored by the time i get it.

 

i waited a year for them to come out- whats another 3 months

im just saying its worth the wait guys. less noise than OEM and shifts are incredible. What more can you ask for.

 

Update from UPR, they will take back the tranny mount and give me a full refund since they cannot get me a urethane bushing. They said to order from either Steeda or Barton. I have a Steeda on the way.....in the meantime, i'll reinstall the crappy OEM piece with Steeda shifter. Oh well....

 

Interesting, I'll be doing the same now I guess. What sucks is Steeda's was on sale last weekend w/free shipping for $65.

 

nah i think what sucks more is you canceling your MGW order lmao

see ya on the streets pal missing 3rd

 

Maybe Gus can do something about it ! I guess the free shipping wouldn't apply in my case.

 

I NEVER missed 3rd once in my car, ever. Not with the stock shifter not with the Steeda. Ran 12.52 with drag radials ONLY so you can't say I wasn't hitting gears.

Missing gears is for scrubs, no shifter can fix that. Buy an auto if you cant' shift.

MGW isn't just 3 months late, look at how long Barton and Steeda have had shifters out. They deserve the lost sales for dragging their feet.

I would love an MGW, I have never even felt one and I would say it looks like the best shifter out for a 2011+, I was going to sell my Steeda to get one. But I could drive 35 min to Summit and pick a Steeda up, and now that its on my car working properly I doubt I'll take it off to spend twice as much money and do the work twice for an MGW.

You can nutswing MGW all you want (and mostly for good reason) but don't blame other people for not buying something that isn't for sale.

 

dude chill out.. i know hytek personally so whatever you have against me sorry but i could careless. im glad you know how to shift- enjoy your bracket.

i never said YOU were missing 3rd- i said that TO hytek which he missed 3rd multiple times since i know HIM personally. i guess hytek doesnt know how to drive. thank you for clarifying that one now.

 

William, did you change the reverse lockout stock spring with softer one in your Steeda !
