What else do I need to shift?

Hello

I just purchased the Carbonetics twin clutch, works short shifter, TWM metal Cage, AMS gate selector, AMS under hood bushings, torq solutions drive shaft carrier support bushings, beatrush rear diff spacer, torq solutions solid diff bushing with billet inserts, and torq solutions solid diff side inserts.


Is there anything else I need to go along with these to improve shifting?

Thanks

Your missing the key item, poly motor mount bushings. They are what hold the motor in place to keep the the shifting smooth. Actually, should have started there in my view.

I can still get them. Nothing has been installed yet. I'm having the clutch changed at the same time so maybe those would be easier to access at that time?

Any suggestions on which one if I don't care about vibration or noise? Any other bushings I can get to stiffen things up?

I hope your ready to hear and feel everything!!! also i thought torq solutions solid diff bushing with billet inserts and torq solutions solid diff side inserts were the same thing. also the beatrush spacers and TS solid diff is seems pretty overkill. do you auto cross?

The spacers were part of the Kracka kit.

No auto x but I want to get into time attacks next year.

I also ordered AMS motor mounts with the front one race compound.

Lol it's going to be interesting when I get the car back. My vibrate the teeth out of my head.


I got carried away. Started with just the shifterclutch and it ended with "well since they are down there I may as well replace all the bushings"

Thinking about doing the front sway as well.

Another important thing is a weighted shift knob. I picked up the A6 Leopard from TWM with their shift cage. I was surprised how much difference just the knob made...

Yes, Let Shep rebuild your transmission... Aside from that, you are in good shape.

That's my plan next year when I rebuild the engine. I was curious about that. Is there a way I can buy a rebuilt trans and then send them my core after? I'm trying to find a way to have the least downtime since it's my DD.

Thanks
