Everyone who emailed and has payed should have received shipping confirmation tonight. (except a few who have UPS shipments, or international USPS) Let me know if you did not receive anything and i will figure out what went wrong.

Just want to throw this link out there for cable craft cables at a great price.

They have 1/4 & 5/16 bulk head mount cables for around $40 each. Far cheaper than McMaster.

It's 2am and I discovered if I just skip sleep I can get much more done! After about 17hrs of strait work, a skipped lunch and I think around 3hrs of packaging, the first slew of cable shif kits are heading out. Tho I'm not looking forward to work tomorrow.

I individually prepped each piece of hardware in groups of nuts washers and bolts to ease installation as I will not have time for instructions anytime soon. I will take a couple of photos of the finL production kit so you guys have something visual to work off of.

There are a couple of cradles and cable kits that will be pacaged and shipped ASAP aswell.

Sorry for the delays thus far, doing my best. I hope you find it was worth the wait.

Thank you Ian! Post office broke up the box pretty good.

IanJ: sent you an email, let me know if you have any questions

Chris W./Everyone if the box is damaged the first thing you need to do is check to make sure the cables are in good condition still.

Un-coil them and and work the cable back and forth, make sure there is no drag and is slides without too much resistance.

Chris H had a similar issue with the package, below is a photo he sent of the contents of the kit:
2 cables
1 bracket
1 shift arm
1 bolt kit(+plastic baggie of missed bolts that I threw in, most of you guys will not have this extra baggie as i caught myself and started adding the missing bolts to the kits)
Attached Image

Best i can do while at work.

Whoa I have that EXACT SAME RUG! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Chris, your box should have had a baggie with 2 bolts, the cables (2), and the rest of the stuff was wrapped together in shrink wrap in one lump so it's HIGHLY unlikely anything escaped from there. As long as that's how you found yours you're probably good.

QUOTE(DBCooper @ Oct 7 2013, 08:14 AM) *

As a community service I'd suggest that when whoever is first up makes their shifter parts they do dimensional sketches at the same time, then once it's sorted make up a dozen sets of brackets. It's just flat stock, simple and cheap. There are that many Subaru transmission projects, and no point in all twelve folks repeating the same work when one could do it for all.

And If anyone feels really entrepreneurial take a look at what it would take to adapt the bracket design to fit 901 transmissions, side and tail shift. These cables work better than the aftermarket shifters I've tried, and are far less expensive. There are more than a few people out there who would love to get their 901's shifting better. It's the perfect solution for those poor tail shifter guys, no need to convert to side shifter. I know that Ian intended to do this, and the good Dr. Evil has mentioned it, but it's still waiting for someone to pick it up and run with it. Anyone who wants to drive my car to verify any of this is purely welcome.


I Agree

I have a suby engine and a 901 tailshift tranny

I would love to go to a cable shift set up.

Buying and routing the cables I can handle, but I do not weld.

If we had a set to buy, or plans/drawings to buy, I could have the adapter plates made locally.

It would then be a matter of assembly.

I could buy a shifter kit commercially, but last I checked it would run almost 600.00

A bit too much for me right now.

Count me in for a set.

Thanks

Mike

So after months of trying to find an MR2 shifter that wasn't gold plated (or at least the prices in Aus seemed to suggest they were!) then out due to operations on my hips. I ventured out to the garage today.

I've loosely setup my Coldwater linkage kit and thought I'd post some pics here (Mods feel free to delete if it's not appropriate).

With a bit of fiddling with bolt order I think I have it setup (it's certainly shifting!)

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i786.photobucket.com-5327-1413616323.1.jpg)
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i786.photobucket.com-5327-1413616324.2.jpg)

Now the only problem I have is the SW20 linkage (Shown on top of these pics) seems to be too big for the cable. Will disassemble and see if it's as simple as knocking out or if it needs drilled.
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i786.photobucket.com-5327-1413616324.3.jpg)
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i786.photobucket.com-5327-1413616324.4.jpg)

This minor issue aside it seems like a nicely put together kit. Thanks Ian!

Quick tip: use lock tight. Just had to send some extra hardware out for some bolts that came loose.
