Racing application. Who is using a gated shifter? Which one? Do you like it? Is it worth the expense? I've been fighting with shifting issues.. like finding 2nd when looking for 4th. Last episode ended with broken rocker arms. I've adjusted and replaced everything from the shifter to the solid trans mounts. It will do fine and then all of a sudden I've found second instead of 4th which results in a over rev. I have concentrated on my shifting and can't find a correlation to what causes this to happen. Any suggestions would be appriciated.
Thank you David |

QUOTE I don't like outfits that have customers do the R&D on a product.... You need to get over that! Every company with a great track record in motorsports does it. From the top auto manufacturers down to the after market parts suppliers. Some rely on it more than others, but the truth is the best ones make improvements based on user feedback. I can't say much about the early JWest goodies (never used any), but everything I have personally used from them has been top-notch. I still say that if you have to guide your shfter to make an accurate shift, then you are not shifting as fast as possible. If you have to think about it then it will be a distraction, and slower. Thinking about guiding the shifter on down shifts while braking and pointing the car puts you at a disadvantage to the competitor who can concentrate solely on braking and turning. Just my .02 cents. |

QUOTE I don't like outfits that have customers do the R&D on a product.... You need to get over that! No, I don't. When I pay money for a bit, it should work as advertised for a reasonable length of time. If I fuck it up, I acknowledge it.....which is much more than can be said of too many vendors. Maybe that is why my car don't break and it's about at the top of "it's " game. How's yours? . I use "proven" parts....I'll take a shot in the dark once in a while, but not often....but not those made from a sow's ear & priced like a silk purse. My shifter has been workin' fine for 35 years, Andy. Get back to me when you can say the same. |
