Don't really post here anymore but would like to give credit to the following members for their great help;
1) To those contemplating a TH8 plate by
@patrickd018.
Purchased a short shift 6S and sequential plate a few months ago.
Craftsmanship & CS are first-rate, metal-to-metal sequential action is so good...
....I even built a second 8020 mount dedicated for a 2nd TH8 sequential.
And big thanks to
@mcunkle for providing me with hands-on info about
@patrickd018's sequential.

2) A while back my TH8 started to get gritty & much harder to move between the gates.
So, I detached the lower metal housing by removing the phillips (+) screws that secure it.
Went to work with some solvent, Q-tips and small brush to remove factory grease.
Replaced that with Phil Wood bearing grease I also use for cycling.
Smooth as a butter now, very easy to do, no further disassembly required.
No screw red-seal breakage necessary for you warranty-worriers.
I did disconnect the sensor connector 1st to avoid mis-haps.
Couldn't have done it as easily & quickly without info and/or pics previously posted by
@Carson79,
@fatkrakr,
@LogiForce, &
@mrbasher.
