QuickShift On Valvers..

Bubbles · Feb 2, 2004

Im having one fitted down at Ktec tomorrow (So keep a look out for me and roamer!!) and i was just wondering if anyone has one fitted to a valver?

Roamer menchioned when he first got his fitted, it jumped out of 5th or reverse a few times as he didnt realise he had to push it round quite so far, has anyone had simular problems?

Other than that im very excited!!

Is fiiting a quickshift easier to do with the engine out??

Daz · Feb 3, 2004

Takes less than an hour with it in.. dont think you even do anything engine side..

Paul C · Feb 3, 2004

i want to know what these are like!!

toms123 · Feb 3, 2004

erm, what quickshift? is that like a rally style shifting mechanism or something? Now that would be cool!

coolspot007007 · Feb 3, 2004

Its a new gear linkage with a shorter throw and has an integral gear knob.

Daz · Feb 3, 2004

Id imagine they really do shorten the throw.

Compared to mine, a Williams is a lot shorter.. so one of these, Im guessing, is pretty short.. hehe.

Bubbles - I had one on my first RT and its awesome, just watch out for it popping out of reverse

Bubbles · Feb 4, 2004

Well guys i had it fitted, and its GREAT

Really changes the feel of the drive of the car, and i can change gear in milliseconds! when Ktec fitted it, he tested all the gear changes for me before he let me have the car back, he had a REAL hard time putting it into reverse at first, so he put the car back up, alterd some stuff then tried again, and much better.. Ive been driving around with it for 24 hours now and its gorgeous.

Very quick, short and procise, and when i first put it into 5th i was shocked, hardly any movement into the 5th gear at all. And because Ktec have set it all up, i havent found its jumped out of any Gears what so ever..

Overall im very happy with it, id recommend it to any of you!

i want one. did u watch em fit it? how easy did it look?

Lunner · Feb 4, 2004

Nice, another thing to add to my wish list, christ it keeps getting longer and more expensive!

Bubbles · Feb 4, 2004

Yes Ben, i watched them fit it, he made it look easy as he does it all the time, personally i wouldnt want to do it myself.

Ben j · Feb 4, 2004

but i thought u like fiddling with shafts?

Bubbles · Feb 4, 2004

i do, but not my cars.

jimbo · Feb 4, 2004

all it does is increase the length below the pivot, so technically the length of the shifter shud be no shorter than std, all the changes happen beneath the pivot point!

ClioRXE · Feb 4, 2004

i have one of these fitted to my 1.6 clio.

i know its not a valver, but its the same kit...
its made a massive different to the speed to shifts for me.
driving a normal car is now like driving a bus compared to this quickshifter.

Bubbles · Feb 4, 2004

I love my quickshift.. even when pootling along in a 30, you cant help but drop it into 2nd, then as you hit the national speed limit, boot it.. change in seconds and feel her boot some more! RARRRRRRRRRRRRr

Type_Mo · Feb 4, 2004

Bubbles · Feb 4, 2004

good description - i like it!

aaronc · Feb 4, 2004

i may sound a little silly here, but do you have to use a custom gear stick or can still use the original 16v one? Also how much does the part cost? and how many hours labour?

cheers

Daz. · Feb 5, 2004

Id like to know this - ive been pondering one of these for ages but I wanted to keep the old valver knob, I dont want to change a thing on the inside.

BenR · Feb 5, 2004

aaron, i replaces the entire shift assembly.

Itll take about an hr to fit or so, not much to do, just a bolt and some fiddling.

Bubbles · Feb 5, 2004

All i have left from my old gear stick, is the plastic cap with the numbers on, from the top of the stick. hehe
