Wink Revo vs. Stock side by side comparison

Here are more pictures of both shifters side by side; Honda stock is on the right side. Revo has higher legs/stubs at the base to accommodate longer shifter at the bottom. Not sure about % but it is definitely more pleasant and fun to drive. The only thing that I did notice at the time of the install is that plastic ridge inside evo's shifter is a bit shorter. Honda uses it as a stop for the left shift cable lock. You can see that on pic 2.
I got this shifter just under $100 from fleabay. "Fits" GD3 and GE8.
Hope this helps in your next upgrade.

I would say .5><1inch on top and almost 2x at the bottom. Next installer might update us with a more quantitative measurements of the shifter.

I believe it was done with Mugen + H-Fit + spacers. Results should be similar.

Just installed the Revo SS & my new shift knob. Its a nice difference from stock height & throw wise. The quality seems legit. I would def recommend this to anyone. I plan to try the H-Fit adapted next month. Here are some pics so far:

I have the Revo and the H-Fit but I forgot to put it on the Revo when I put it in... When I get all of the stuff I have yet to put on the car so my wife will get off of my ass I'll see if they will work together.

Just in case anyone is wondering, installing the h-fit kit with the revo isn't going to have any effect. The revo already eliminates the rubber bushings that the h-fit replaces, so h-fit wont really do anything. Besides this, to install h-fit you're going to need longer bolts to hold the shifter in.

You can either use washers stacked under the plastic base or ding the sheet metal with a small ball peen hammer or a hammer and rounded drift directly under the plastic tip on the cable end that the ball end of the H-Fit goes into... I thing WBD had pictures og how to ding it... Longer bolts and washers is the way I intend to do it unless there is interference to the console... If nothing works out I'll post here that I couldn't do it... I may be wrong but I have had the stuff apart a number of times and I think it will work... I have had things I thought would work turn into disasters but that involved women and marriages and I don't think doing this could be nearly as terrible.
