I'd like to update this and give my reviews since I've had both u-joints and currently have the solid bushings

Solid u-joint
>no more shifter slop while in gear
>takes some effort to shift
>shifts feel more solid
> lots of NVH, I mean a lot

Bearing u-joint (currently in car)
>no NVH
>shifter slides into gear
>some side to side play, still, but nothing like the oem unit
>shifts feel solid
>did I mention no NVH?

All in all I'm very happy with my choice to switch to the bearing U-joint. It's a comfort thing really. Full blown race car, solid all the way. Street car, daily driver, or car you use for dates- get the bearing u-joint

That's good to hear, especially since you went from solid u-joint to the one with bearings.

I want to install their bearing u-joint for sure, especially seeing that the NVH is fine. Did you have a similar experience kenliu84?

I am doing an OEM+ legacy build. I don't want no extra NVH but enhanced shifter experience. I am thinking just the bearing Ti u-joint and leave the other bushings stock (or replace with groupN); thoughts?

I just e-mailed Delta Motorworks. They are still out of stock and closed for now due to Covid-19. sucks how affected these small businesses are.
