JBarone Short Shift Plates For MPS3 GenI & GenII

**nzjase** · 02-04-2010, 12:47 PM

hmmm.. i havent got mine yet. and Ive sent emails to Jbarone (by mistake) and MPS Garage. Havent heard anything yet either. Just an email back from someone would put me at ease.

**jbarone** · 02-04-2010, 11:00 PM

I would suggest you e-mail them again. They've been out of town and very busy.

received my upgrade thanks Jb and MPS garage for prompt response it actually improved shift feel even further

have to say though users of ss plates be aware ... maybe because i didnt grease up the silicon boot on the linkages enough ??? and i must be the first by the sounds of it the ss plate mod did wear a hole in the side of the rubber boot - all good now though with better clearance with the upgrade

I am still waiting on my retrofit upgrade... Well.. 2 more weeks gone by, and still no reply. I have sent 2 emails direct to sales@mpsgarage.com.au and one message on the 'contact us' of their website.
I'm a little disappointed to have not heard anything back after trying to make contact so many times.
I'm gonna be a bit pissed if my boot is worn through too.

Does anyone know a better way to get a message to MPS Garage other than their email or website?... lol kinda slack, if you asked me....

I'm still waiitng on my upgrade kit.

MPSgarage has been telling me they are still on there way from the US for a few months now.

ANyone else still witing and wondering?

**jbarone** · 14-05-2010, 10:52 PM

I'll take full responsibility for the delay. I did not send enough to meet the demand first time around. They should have more now. Please try to contact them again.

Sorry,
Jamie

I did receive mine, although no messages were received from MPS Garage. It arrived in the mail.

However, when I went to put it on, i discovered the boot was pretty ripped up as well.

After putting on the part, i then discovered that with the factory airbox... it won't work. It rubs on the bottom.

So my only choice now was to take the whole part back off, and refit the original shift plate.
Kind of a bummer. I don't remember in the part description it saying that the part was not suitable with the factory airbox.

Now i am saving up for a CAI - Anyone know a better way to get one into NZ? the shipping really kills the price!

Go to Jamiesplanet.com and read the updated install instructions for raising the air box to clear the adapter.

Thanks,

Thanks Jamie,

any tips on fixing the torn boot? Or just some electrical tape or something...

**jbarone** · 14-05-2010, 11:14 PM

If it's just torn you may be able to use some black silicone or possibly some electrical tape too.

Sorry about that.

I have NOT received mine either Col. I purchased mine in December before the GB went ahead..... I emailed MPS Garage on April 19 & they replied on MAY 12 asking if i had received my upgrade kit yet ?
I dont know whether they have the upgade kits in stock, if mine is on its way, or wtf is going on. I can tell why dealing with them can sometimes be frustrating. Almost a month to reply to an email in unacceptable.
