So I have installed a few different short shifters and I really must say this was the easiest to line up I have encountered. My car shifts awsome now (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) . The only thing I don't get is why everything is in standard. I don't have any standard sized tools. I have a big box full of metric and was rather sad to find I needed standard sized tools for my European auto.

it's springloaded. the shifter actually bounces back to the 2-3 plane if you put it in neutrual. it takes some time getting used to, but now i can't even imagine not having one ...
it turned the stock (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stirthepot.gif) into (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif) Andy |

At least it will bounce from 1st or reverse and when pushed with no real pressure in nuetral and to the left, it rests right on the 2-3 plane. Well, first off, the shifts are much more smooth. The short shifters had too stiff of springs and the lock out was a pain. I didn't mind before but now I am thinking I was crazy. The shifter rests in neutral between the 2nd and 3rd plain. it moves over to the Reverse and 1st or 4th and 5th plains with ease. In fact you can push the shifter with one fingure. The regular shifter is okay but you sometimes get lost in the gears and the short shift can be hard on the syncros. This is very precise and has the throw adjustment so you won't damage your gears or syncros. Also has a manual reverse lockout that I am loving. Anything else you would like to know? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I agree about the short shift kits. The one that was on my /6 absolutely sucked. But the zambeziteen /4 stock shifter and side shifter transaxle does take some decent force to overcome the springs to get to 1st-reverse, you will not mistake either for 2nd or 3rd.I really would like to get another try at a rennshifter. I do think I want one (at least I have since I first saw one), but this current car just doesn't justify it. |
