Hey guys, due to the recent request for heavier springs, I now have replacements available.
The RennShift takes about 7 lbs. at the knob to move side-to-side. I have found this to be well liked by many people, but some may prefer stiffer springs. I now have additional springs available that increase the load to about 13 lbs. at the knob. The stock shifters I have measured vary a LOT, from 9 to 12 lbs. for the most part. These springs can be used on one or both sides, and drop in quickly with the removal of 2 screws at the top of the shift housing. The original torx screws can be a bit of a pain, so socket-head allen screws will also be included. I have used many different variations in my own car, and I like the lighter springs best. If you want the heavier springs, send me a PM and I will send a pair out to you. |

QUOTE(campbellcj @ Sep 13 2003, 07:19 AM) LOL, the problem with this one knob+shifter I've got...is that I already trying pounding the CRAP out of it ... okay, no problem... today, you simply disassemble the stock shifter to expose the forged ball, heat it and the shaft to loosen the epoxy and pound off the ball using that wrench/hammer trick. comes right off once the epoxy is heated enough to break its chemical bond. (there will be smoke...) send the ball to James - it's all he needs. some future day you deal with the shift knob, possibly by freezing the steel shaft real, real cold to shrink it and break the adhesive bond, or judicious heating to achieve the same effect, or cut the steel shaft off flush with the bottom of the knob and drill, ream, or EDM the steel out ... |
