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 No doubt you shift a bunch at the track, but as with all things it's a matter of degree when you compare an autox run to a track session or race. By degree I mean missed one shift at an autox and your finished. On the track this can also be the case, but typically it isn't. Yeah that makes sence. I imagine that in a short solo run (AX) you have to be flawless to get TTOD. I got lucky when I flubbed my shift as I wasn't being pressured in the braking zone. If I had, I would have likely lost the position. Sometimes one mistake is all it takes in any form of motorsports. |

A good AX car doesnt get shifted out of 2nd at all in 95% of events. JP's car "shifting" at an AX.

Brad and I installed it in about an hour. It helps to have two people for linkage install. Its not gated but shifts are much more positive. And I did hundreds of shifts flawlessly each weekend I went to the track with the JWest setup. Honestly shifting 901 with Jwest was nicer than my cable shifted Boxster.

You'da been at least 2-3 seconds back with your fat ass & fat car....partially because you would have shifted 4-5 times......chump. |
