about ShortShifts in general

[nmwisima]

Guys,
I am in serious thought of installing a Short Shifter, TRD, T3... dont know yet...

BUT,
I hear a lot of voices saying that a short shift reduces drasticly the lifetime of the gearbox.

What do you think about this?
What brand sghort-shift are you using?
And all others questions there might be, can be discussed here...

No problems for gearbox.
Why you hesitate to make shortshift instead of buy it ? :wink:

[nmwisima]

Cause the stupid "technicians" here ask for about 150 euros

[jamiemirror]

I'm stupid too - and I made one.
I can make it but only "core exchange" basis - I need the original stick in order to rework it.

[nmwisima]

You do no ask for 150 euros, so you are not included in the "stupid" ones

[jamiemirror]

Dear nmwisima, only the smartest ones can get 150 EU for this job :-)
I produced one set for "cj" - the Bulgarian member ot this club (and my friend). I made two 10mm plates instead of one solid 20mm to produce the stick for 55% shortage in shifting - in future we (I and cj) will make some experiments with 10 and 20 mm plates and respective 55% and ~30% short shifting construction.
This modification is not expensive nor hard to do - but it just requires original stick.

Shortshifting will drastically reduce the life of the syncro's if used fanatically. Shifting very quickly with the std box will do the same.

[nmwisima]

Ahhh, thanx.

Anybody else?

How much do you want to make one Jammie?
I 've got a spare stick...
How about the other things we were talking? Are they ready?

[nmwisima]

Aloimonos,
1st,
this is not a "Buying short-shifts" topic, pm's are a more suitable way :wink:

2nd,
If I am not mistaken Jammie has "promised" a bounch of stuff, for about a year now, and you havent even see apic of it. Obviously Miro HASN'T GOT ENOUGH TIME to make stuff for you and me, so WHY YOU INSIST, man?

Better forget that thing, and give your money to something else :wink:
