Quickshift Kit

[Jim]

Any one have a GE quickshift kit? Or something similar?

If so, did you notice much of a diffirence and is it worth it?

It does make a big difference and when you go back to a standard gearstick you wonder whiy its got so much travel on it!

If you have a soggy gearbox which is prone to crunching then I probably wouldn't bother but for most cars it is great!

Cool, might just pick one up, they are really easy to install. Have you got one yourself?

Had one on previous cars and will probably get one for the Audi - just a bit busy at the moment! (It will happen along with a 60bhp power upgrade and better suspension!)

how easy is it?

Can i do it to my beemer (e46) and use the original gearnob ?
is it just a matter of cutting the gearstick shorter?

i had a 6sp sports gearbox in my golf, that was the best i've ever used to date.

Its a doddle to do if you are reasonable competant at DIY mechanics. Its a little more than shortening the gear stick the center pivot needs to be moved to get the shorter throw. A Short gearstick will just make the long gear change stiffer. Most kits accept the standard knob so get the kit for your car and bung on the current knob.
