Scott Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I've fitted a short shifter kit. Now, before I go to the bother of putting the box back in has anyone had any experience with them? It's not a Cs one, it's a Japspeed one. It feels a bit clunky, even more clunky than normal, but I believe that gearboxes generally are a bit more clunky when the engine isn't running. As much as I would love to just give it a go, it's a PITA removing the fecker at a later date. Any genuine feedback would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chazuk Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Just try it for a bit its only a 10min job to remove it with the box fitted in the car, does it have the reverse lock out like the stock shifter ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does indeed. If it's that straight forward then that's not so bad. I was thinking that I needed the prop out of the way to get access to to the lower bolt, good to know that's not the case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Personally I hate them, I think the stock lever is too short and certainly doesn't want the throw reducing. The nicest mod is a LONGER gear lever and remove the rubber bushes from the lever extension frame. The longer lever allows finger tip changes and makes the rather truck like Getrag change quite tolerable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted March 26, 2015 Author Share Posted March 26, 2015 I was wondering whether or not to change the bushes to aluminium. You recommend that then Chris? I must admit I do like a short shift. My gear change was always pretty good so I don't mind sacrificing a little, if it's too much I'll ditch it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Their removal takes some of the rubbery feel out of the change. Especially if they are knackered, which many are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'll add them to the "to do" list also then. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
