Does it just bolt on ?

 

[h701micra]

Pretty much

 

[SuperUno]

So just remove the old one and bolt in the new one ? Do they make much difference ?

 

[h701micra]

Yup. Bit of a fiddle but what isn't. They do make a noticeable difference. Just getting used to em. Gears selections are closer together

I've got the one from Matt and there's about an inch of travel between 1st & 2nd max ( to give you an idea )... had to modify the heat sheild to clear as it was catching.

Only short shift I've had experience of is daddy franks ghetto version. It's great and is defo on my mods list

 

[skymera]

Ah you see I have no heatshield

 

[SuperUno]

Ok thanks, I know of the one Matt does, but this is a lot cheaper, and we don't run the heat shield anyway, and the cat is now gone so about to fit a cat replacement pipe i had made, so now would be ideal timing. Think i will give it a go !

Worth it, feels good when changing gearsdriving!!!!

Its the distance between the gear selector rod & ball pivot that shortens the throw bud

Id bin mine too if it wasnt for the amount of mud / muck on the roads here getting into the linkages!

 

[h701micra]

I have a sump plate that narrows into the tunnel to protect my linkages

Sorcery.

Can this be down without dropping the zorst and shield? Perhaps inside the car with gaiter removed?

i doubt it scott, needs to be in a vice really (and the plastic heated/softened a bit, to slide it up the knurling)

stock gear stick,,,,extended 5cm = 50mm at lower end ,also curled back so its in my palm always ,,,you get me ?

 

[r-reg-sr]

1 inch gear throw

 

[Enuo]

1 inch gear throw

I wanna do that and reduce throw but raise the gear lever up higher so it's like a rally shifter, minimum distance between steering wheel and shifter!

 

[r-reg-sr]

1 inch gear throw

2 inch gear to gear 1 from neutral

I wanna do that and reduce throw but raise the gear lever up higher so it's like a rally shifter, minimum distance between steering wheel and shifter!

see if we could design a real short throw mechanism that could microshift at the mechanism so a longer lever would still be short throw ?

 

[BarnsleyNath]

piccies I said I'd send mate ( wouldn't let me add them to a pm on my phone?) Anyway needs a bit of tidying up but the look is totally different from stock and with the chrome from the shifter looks great as well as personally nicer to drive/use

 

[Jordan27]

Same one as I have on the banana car. Only ever have trouble changing from 4th to 3rd now and then but only really when I'm rushing things, other than that it's really good!
