I was told there are 2 pick-ups. Sheer luck as well maybe....

Yes, no extra charge of course for the install. I knew they would likely need changed. He showed me mine, they were toast at 64k miles. The Revshift green are much more solid, a bit noisier, but I shift the gears easier and I swear I feel a difference in the clutch (maybe just in my head)

They use Liqui Moly 10w60

I had a friend come here for his E92 and E46 M3's and was impressed. Then knowing that they've done lots of S65 and S85 RB's made me comfortable enough to him without price shopping. I rather pay a bit more (not sure if they would be cheaper) but use someone who is VERY familiar with this issue and will install them correctly. He loves these cars as much as I do. They were replacing a failed crank hub bearing on a F80 when I was picking mine up. They were not sure what kind of damage they were going to find. That makes me very comfortable giving them mine. I typically work on my own car so it's hard for me to give my car to just anyone.

good for you...
Looks like they're a good resource here in Indy
