Sorry tidus, couldn't control the timing. It could be waiting for you when you get back though..


And i can ship to canada no problem. I would need a full address to get a shipping idea.

Maybe this should be a new thread... but what about the slop? Could you come up with something to improve overall shifter feel? Different bushings or something?

i dont mind discussing it in this thread.

the design of the linkage would allow me to make that section sturdy. based on the design however most of the slop comes from the joint at the input shaft and in the shifter itself.

this shorter throw does remedy a good amount of the slop though. not enough to advertise that. but the looseness while in gear has shrunk considerably.

to make the joint in the input shaft stronger, i would say drill out the pins and install a cnc aluminum inner joint. it is currently expanded plastic. I have an extra one i can look into that.

You are saying the joint at the shifter, not anywhere in the linkage or where it hooks to the transmission?

the plastic "ball" thing at the 90* at the bottom of the shifter in the car.. and the joint at the input shaft of the tranny both allow a good amount of play.


the lever i have works well, but if the plastic cups wear, i can see additional play building. But the pivot of the arm has room for improvement, i would say machine the arm to pt a groove in there, and then replace the two plastic bushings, with metal ball/needle bearings with the correct dimensions, but also to tap the top hole for the clip rod that holes it in, and put a better piece in there that threads into the top..
