Van- sure thing.
Gary, the shift are incrementally better than perfect stock - as you probably know the bushings in the linkage are the real culprit for slop in the stock setup. The stock shifter itself has some "give" with the spring that makes up part of the pivot - my shifter is solid in that regard. The biggest difference my shifter makes is the spring loaded gates. This is what really defines the gear pattern and inspires confidence in the shifting. Bushings and motor mounts have to be good if you want the shifting to be good, of course. I am working on info to explain all this on my website, it is hard to find time with finishing the jigs and everything else (plus I have a real job!). I'm not sure how this would help with a 915 upgrade, and I think Brad might have been working on something and WEVO just came out with a 915 conversion I believe. Thanks for the questions! |

Rich, the list is the one I am keeping (its actually an Excel spreadsheet on my computer) to inform people of when I am ready to ship shifters. I will e-mail people in the order I have received interest and see if they want to buy at that time.
Consider yourself officially added. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/MDB2.gif) |

I have sent e-mails to everyone on this post about ordering a shifter - if you did not receive a message asking if you were ready to order now, please let me know.
Thanks! James |

Hi James
I didn't get an email, but then I recall your were starting production with the side shifter units first. When will you be ready with the tail shift version? Specifically and 914/6 tail shift version with provision for the hand throttle? |

The instructions are included on a CD with good (real) pictures of the install.
I am also adding more info on the peripherals as I have time, such as shift bushing replacement, clutch tube fixes, and stock and new replacement (hint, hint (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) ) coupler bushing install. |
