I know a few of you have done his. Looking for a little help on the cable shifter for the Subaru 5spd tranny. Where can I get custom cables made? Or is there a certain set of cables that will work from another vehicle ? Any help is greatly appreciated.

When designed properly, a bell-crank won't affect "feel." On my LS1/Audi 6 speed, my bell-crank setup has zero lash. The Boxster 5 speed uses a bell-crank setup successfully. Andys |

I'm not saying that bell cranks are bad, because I've had and used good ones myself, but there's plenty of room in the back, so if you can loop one cable around to come in at 90 degrees, connecting both cables directly to the shift rod, you've eliminated an intermediary mechanism and another possibility for slop. If I had just the bell-crank shifter here I might not even notice, but I have one configured each way so it's easy compare. Everything else is identical. It's not a lot, and I repeat that the bell-crank linkage isn't bad, it's good, but there is a difference between the two. Just a heads-up, something I've noticed. |

I knew I copied a good design when I copied yours Paul. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) I have no shame. I can speak to the crisp feel of that design. However, it's appeal to me was simplicity. And +1 for Control Cables 562-949-0455. They are super helpful and friendly. |
