Quick shift, is it worth it?
Is a quick shift gear linkage worth it, seems like an easy an cheap mod, but do u notice that much difference, thanks

Yes mate ,makes a big difference you dont need to buy the most expensive one either . My one was a little over £30 on eBay and works well .
|
Cool think ill get 1 then mate
|
I agree, I have one fitted to my bugeye, nice cheap useable mod.
|
It's even better when you have flat foot shifting mapped in.
|
Would be better to put the money into a gear linkage bush kit from Alyn at ASperformance.
|
How easy are they to fit?
If they make that much of a difference then will look at getting one. |

Just take off the gearknob, remove the gaitor and plastic bit.
Then undo the bolt holding the linkage together. Apply a bit of force to pop the old gearstick out then use a plastic ended mallet to force the balljoint of the new stick into place and tighten up the bolt. There's a metal plate that goes around the stick, I bent this upwards slightly to stop the linkage from catching it- Attachment 74620 Attachment 74621 When it's all fitted it might feel a bit stiff for a while but it will slacken a little over time. They are supposed to make the gear throw shorter making it quicker to change gear and some say that they make your gearstick feel like a little joystick on an arcade machine lol |
Probably the best way to shave a couple of tenths off that 0-60 sprint IMHO :)

Hurrrrm, may have to get one of these.
Coming from VW's to impreza's i am finding 2nd to 3rd a real task. I nearly put the gear stick through the head unit every time i change. Have to keep remembering its kind of diagonal to 3rd from 2nd. If you kind of know what i mean..... |
