Same here. No noise at all. Install was a piece of cake. Makes driving alot more fun. Positive shifts, and no sweat 2nd to 3rd.

Happy with mine as well! Noise can be tweaked out - mine's as quiet as stock. I ended up with the stock **** and billet shift pattern insert (disappointed with the Momo). Definitely an improvement!

Mine dad's is quiet as stock also. We went back to the stock **** as well. It's just shorter and the shorter the better. Real positive shifts. Real short shifts to. Kinda notchy but my dad likes that. How many of yall put on the silencer ring that came with it? How many of yall's came with a silencer ring?
