Instead of a conventional quickshift, where people make a spacer to sit on the top of the shifter housing. What he has done is cut the part off where the shifter ball sits, raised it 18mm for example and then welded it back on with a spacer in the middle. Therefore, using a stock 'cup' i suppose you could call it where the shifter ball sits.

Good sides; Its easier to assemble and possibly more sturdy over a spacer that sits on the top. And eliminates the 2 C shaped spacers too.
Bad sides; You can't reverse what you've done. Which isn't a real big deal anyway.

Here's a picture of a conventional C's quickshift. You can see the round spacer thats made (these can vary in apperance, ie sqaure, circle, etc.) with the two prongs that stick out into the circle in the middle and also the two C shaped spacers that are required.

i extended it 25mm from my measurements off a bought item to suit a 180sx will have pictures of throw length on saturday

[Negative Boost]

I'd imagine thats a pretty short throw? How does it go on the synchros?

[pryorshazam]

can do any length you want really, syncro wear is goin to depend on the user and if they man handle the thing or not

[Petes77celica]

quite interested what dollars are we talking dont want want the the shifter to short either about half if not a little shorter can you use standard gear shift knob?

Well most of us here ARE men ya know

[pryorshazam]

if it is to short of a throw you dont have to have it extended so much

[SlimLim]

are u thinking off producing those short shifts? i'm keen on one pending price.

[JustenGT8]

Great idea pryor* think i'll have a crack at that myself. So that was 20mm right?

Sorry for the delay, but have had a few issues with getting it right - should have a few more updates shortly. BTW - will be producing heaps and all done properly. Should have some more details and pics of the new one shortly.

Sorry again for the delays, but getting C&C work done can take time to get my guy to squeeze it in.

That's all good, some progress is better than no progress

I have talked to the cnc guy and I can get him to make some custom height ones - everything else will be the same. All I need is the numbers that are interested in the longer length ones.
