I actually hand made one, it's sitting in my garage, not had a chance to test it. Cut & welded up an existing shifter & got a bunch of 10mm spacers to bolt the assembly too.

Pretty sure that's what VipFTO did, hoping to get it done to mine soon

So your home made shifter would like this bennoz?



Credit for pic goes to shane!

Sort of... not quite that high. I used 12mm spacers.

Would it being higher shorten the shift?

Here's some pics. First is the C's shifter I've got in my car, you can see the raise plate thickness there.

2nd are the spacers I used on the welded quick shifter I put in Kaz's car.

lol, wheres the credit for my pic lol!

FYI, that's the shifter from my race car. I believe but cannot confirm that it's an RPW modified shifter.

If you look closely, it's not simply raised with 1" spacers, the side arm is also modified and the shaft itself has been replaced with a longer modified unit.

lol, no worries. You beat me to it though tbh, I was going to put up info and pics of my shifter tonight FYI for the forum

you still should. more detailed so i can be replicated by others

I'll see if I can get a photo of mine later tonight. I had to raise mine a fair bit when I put my short shifter in. Used about 40 or so washers. My short shifter is also adjustable.

But you haven't even adjusted it!

What?

What short shifter do you have vectose?

I'll have a look through my eBay transactions tonight. But I think it was for a Colt or something.

How well would you say it works? as good as a C's for instance.

Well Dwayne has a C's and mine has a MUCH shorter throw than his. I can take a video of the throw tonight if you like.

I would say it reduces the throw by about 40-50%.

Gear changes require more effort though. But that will happen with any short shifter.

I have mine set on the shortest setting.

Sure, a video sounds good

Vectoses is f**king short... Been in his car and it's literally tiny lol
