25 years old - bought a manual FR-S. 29 years old - bought a manual Mk7 GTI 36 years old - bought an FL5 Type R With the way the market is going, I think this will be my last manual car before they become completely extinct.

What state do you live in? Just asking so that I can avoid driving behind '24 hatches with the spoiler.

Has nothing to do with the rougher sound, the roughness is something I can feel in my pedals, wheel, and butt dyno.

I'm always running in Individual mode: engine set to sport, suspension/steering/engine noise set to comfort.

I've been running with the fuse removed and valve open for about two weeks, and while I don't have any hard numbers since I never dyno'd the car under these two different states, I can definitely say it feels worse. When I'm in 1st or 2nd gear and going from about 3k to 4.5k RPM, the engine just...

Fingers crossed, but I haven't had any issues in a while. I think my car's transmission is just fully broken in now.

Installed the FlapFab stone guards; they work great.

What grade oil would you recommend?

I recall reading somewhere that people had much better experiences after changing the tranny oil to Amsoil...can't remember where though.

Yours looks pretty good! I saw that Raceseng makes a collar that they claim hides all the wrinkles near the top, but I like the quick-change "pull to release" feature that the Acuity provides. It's this one: https://raceseng.com/products/shift-boot-collar

I've had mine for about 1200 miles and I got some pretty nasty gear grinding going from 1-2. Happened about three times now, and I'm getting kind of worried. It's juuust rare enough that I know the dealer's never going to be able to reproduce it. There's no pattern behind them either; first one...

Ohh gotcha. Can I see your shift boot? I'd like to see how you dealt with the wrinkles.

I played around with it a bit and discovered that you just need to use two zip ties on the Acuity collar. Looks and works great!

Ok I figured it out: use two zip ties to attach the Acuity collar to the Overland Designs shift boot. Love the final result, and now I have easy access to the nut for easy swapping of the shift knob.

Hi everyone, I purchased the red and black OEM type R knob, an Overland Designs red shift boot, and an Acuity shift boot collar. Unfortunately, I read on this forum and from Overland Designs that the Acuity collar is too small, and they recommended I stick to the original collar. I want to...

Are you using the stock shift boot collar?

Got her detailed, paint corrected, and ceramic coated.

Is the Overland opening too small or too large?

Ordered a new alcantara boot from Overland designs and new shift boot collar upgrade from Acuity.

You got any recommendations for an aftermarket shift boot ring that allows for easily pushing it down to expose the nut that holds the shift knob in place?
