I just installed one we had in stock. I was a sceptic until I installed it. Shifts are smoother, less vibration at idle. Worth the time and money IMO.

If you have any questions about the install PM me.

This has been discussed many times.

You will only really notice less vibration if you have a high mileage S2000. Anything under 80,000 IMO you wont notice anything. You may think you notice something. Shifts will remain the same if your under 80,000 miles.

It was used for smoother high rpm shifts and for less vibration with higher mileage s2ks.

For $150 its worth it, especially if your over 80k on the odometer.

I really like mine. The throttle response is much crisper.
