Wasn't aware this was still a mod for the newer cars. On the Older E chassis it was just a rubber stopper you popped out and replaced with a new one by pressing it in.

Not worth it, if you got the BMS one I guarantee it'll have fallen apart in a few thousand miles.

Ya tried to install it and the piece wouldn't even go in. Kept pushing but was afraid of breaking it off inside. Just put the stock one back on. Waste of $10

Same for me. I took it out after a few days. The UCP clutch stop is much better.

The shaft is too long and thick for the G8X. Just trim it down a bit and it will go in fine.

Multiple people have said it causes rev match issues, not worth messing up a clutch to have a bit less travel imo. Mine is still in the zip lock bag it came in

I also had lockout issues shifting quickly 1-2.

With the longer shaft on the BMS clutch stop if you don’t get it *just* right you will have trouble.

When I first installed it, I didn’t like it but saw that it wasn’t in on the correct angle. I pulled it out (which was a PITA) then reinstalled it and it’s been a good 1500 miles. I’m not having any issues with rev matching either

Just to update

Took my dremel to it and thinned it out a bit and was able to install it. No rev matching issues. Still getting used to it but so far I like it
