    Talking Wevo PSJ - Buy it, buy it NOW!!!

    I installed my Wevo Precision Shifting Joint last night. I bought it on a recommendation promising divine rebirth of my shifting response; I decided to take the jump, even though my hopes weren't high. If the Rennshifter was the best $500 I have spent on my car, the joint is the best $200 I have spent on the car.

    My God. The thing shifts so much better: better engagement, smoother gear transitions, etc. I will say that DILIGENT adjustment of the joint is necessary, but once you have it, it is shocking.

    I thought my stock joint was in decent shape. Once I got it off, I realized how crappy a design it really is in comparison. Even if you have a perfect factory unit, it can't compare. Drop the cash, buy the joint and be happy.

    Does this joint have an axial degree of freedom that the OEM ones do?

    Curious about the design and how it accounts for flexing the chassis and flex of the drive train on stock rubber mounts.

    I have viewed this product as one best for race stiffened chassis and running solid mounts. Would like to know if I am wrong on this.

    It has a better range of motion than the stock unit. The stock unit is garbage compared to the Wevo unit. It is like comparing wood wheels to forged aluminum wheels.

    Does your post imply that you have installed both the Rennshift II and now the Wevo joint? I have yet to install my Rennshifter. It sits quietly in the garage. Did you notice a big difference going to the RS II and now an even bigger difference going to the Wevo joint?

    Inquiring minds need to know. Thanks man.
