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 |

In building my track car (that I AX once in a while) I used both the rennshifter and the JWest linkage setups. I used porsche sport mounts up front and the solid urethane rear trans mounts.
setting the rennshift springs to center on the two/three horiz. axis, I have learned to let the springs push the shifter for the one/two upshift and the four/three downshift. Yes, I am still methodical (read: slow) in my shifts as the 901 was not designed for speed shifting, but I found that the shifts are clean and without drama. I only missed a shift once on a track day when I pulled from four to three and got one. I pulled rather than letting the spring push... I like the setup. Crisper, cleaner shifts compared to a stock system with new bushings. I like the 2.7 with the 901. Feels like the mid '70's!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) However, If I was going to a 3.2 or bigger, I would go 915 with the WEVO. Lots mo' money, but worth it. |
