mine got shipped out on the 17th, a little later than I was hoping but it's on it's way. SO I'm hoping within the next week I'll get it and have it installed...

Isn't red loctite a little much? You'll have a damn hard time getting those set screws off with a little less than a torch lol jp. I used blue and it was solid in there.. will take a bit of torque to break loose.

I got mine on Thursday. Install was pretty easy except for the washers that came with the nut. The washer was small and wouldn't even fit the nut -.-. I went to Wal-Mart and bought some other washers. Other than that I love it.

A little late on the reply. But I have had mine in for just over a week now, used red loctite. Took everything apart to check the screws and they were still tight. Throw is great, good parts and no problems what so ever. This piece is definately worth the money!!

glad eveyone likes the skunk 2...theives stole my skunk2 box, had already installed the shifter so no big deal, but obviously they must have heard about the skunk 2!!!

i am surprised more fit freaks haven't replied as this is one mod that pays for itself 10 times over!!!

Just got my skunk2 adapter in. I was confused as to how to tighten the set screws and finally realized after about 20 minutes that your supposed to use a hex wrench lmao.

Anyways , it feels great and I believe it's well worth the money!

Only one concern though for all of you that have it , it seems as if there's a lot of play going on ( you can wiggle it around very easily )with the shifter while its in gear or in neutral. Is it just me or maybe I did something wrong ?
