Just received and paid my invoice, though I suspect they'll send me an additional one as my invoice set out US shipping.

And anyone who wants a discounted one, chat with ATSR per his post above - scholar and a gent.

Just paid my invoice as well. I suppose now I have the excuse I've been looking for to acquire a Maxjax. Sure wish we could arrange a group but on those suckers!

OK, mine are paid for as well....

Question, would it make sense to replace the stock trans mount when installing the FF inserts? Seems that since mine are 10 years old, and I'm there anyway, swap out the mount? They're like $60.

The actual mount is a bear to replace. You'll need to press out the bushing and typically requires removal of the transmission. not a simple task like the istallation of these FF inserts.

I ordered a set of these in the GB as well hoping to avoid this task.

I just had my trans out - or rather, the indy shop I commissioned to do the clutch job had it out - and at ~73,000km mileage, the trans mount was in good shape, no tears. I was going to get them R&R it too, but they said the mount was nearly C$275. We get raped on parts prices here in Canada. If it was $60, I would have had them do it anyway, but now I have the trans mount insert ordered, it should hopefully preserve the life of the mount some.

I installed mine about 5 weeks ago and absolutely love it!!! Shifting from first to second is much better. Acceleration is improved. I have a LWFW which, when driving, would have to drive about +3500rpm otherwise id hear too much rattling. Now, I don't have that issue.
Cabin noise is slightly louder (combination of LWFW and transmission mount), but oddly enough, my exhaust sound is slightly tamer.
Everyone enjoy your new purchase.
