Gazkev was on about one of these!

Oh ai... It almost looks too simple LOL!

they are simple, all you're doing is moving the fulcrum point

I'd be tempted.

does the 1*2 box deal well with a shorter shift, i know some boxes dont like to be rushed.

Danny i like the idea of a short shifter, but like others fear it may damage my Gearbox.
Im not into 2 fast 2 furious shifting but i do like the reduced throw.
Do you think its worth it or not?

Just using the pin, yes. I have both this (although an MB one) and the MB shifter fitted. The lever itself is super stiff for road use but I find it brilliant on track. The feel is so much better and everything feels more precise BUT I did break my gearbox, lol.

i once tried fitting one to my r5 gtt with a friend who studied motorsport engineering at brooklands so in theory should be piss easy for him unfortunately it went horribley wrong, ended up shaggin something up as i could no longer select gears! Turns out he was just a spazza and generally doesnt know what he was doing.
I managed to sort it out with extensive advice off the r5 gtt forum.

Can someone remind me the steps involved in fitting the pin etc?

i know you need like a 13mm spanner and circlip pliers but was that just for the gearstick bit?

cheers

Interested to know how one of these would effect the life of the box.

I have a short shifter on my 205. It's a very worth while upgrade for the cost.

 

[caister]

would these be any good with the clio's box though?

 

[Gray]

Nothing does the Clio box any good haha

 

[caister]

very true! With sensible use though do you think one of these would be a good alternative to using a short shift gearstick?

 

[Gray]

I honestly wouldn't know

I was about to say, surely you've just made that word up?




...but I've googled it. He isn't lying.
