is this possible... how much???

[gibson]

just out of boredom, i have decided i would love to replace my standard gear box with a quick shift system. is this possible, anyone ever done this and what sort of cost do you think we would be talking???

[topher]

what car is it mate ? dieselgeek make kits for most models.

[Gambit]

im assuming you have a mk2 they are about ?25 and reduce gear throw between 30-70% depending on your setting

[gibson]

you serious... only 25 quid. yeah i have an old 86 mk2.... well i'll have it back from the garage sometime today hopefully... whoever invented curbs on motorways should be shot to sh!t

[gibson]

we are talking about those nifty little rally car type gear shifter... up, down only arent we..  don't know what they are called

[danhock]

You mean sequential gear shifting...

Thats a whole different thing!!

Short shifts are east to get and cheap... They just change the pivot point of the gear stick, meaning each gear change is shorter to do.

[gibson]

yeah that's it mate.. any ideas if its even possible... thought #25 was cheap!!!!!!

anyone got this done or not???
