Pro-Shifter, Short Throw

BillW · #1 (**permalink**) 03-08-2009, 08:39 PM

I have one on my Australian DD GTO (JHP GMM Ripshifter) which is a 6 speed (Tremec) - the way it works is rather simple. You are actively pushing against springs in the lateral direction, the default position is the neutral slot between 3-4. It thus becomes very easy to find gears, and the throws are adjustable with set screws. There is no slop and your shifting becomes second nature, I commute in stop and go Wash DC traffic, it is a necessity.

I miss my 2nd-3rd shift all the time on my Tremec, looks like I'm shopping for a Pro-5,, I'm guessing I have to drop the tranny, hole in the floor not big enough?

I don't know about the SPF but, my Lone Star is easy. Take all the bolts out and the boot ring and you should, be able to remove the shifter bolts.

I'm pretty sure you can install the kit from inside the car. Just find someone with small hands and don't drop any parts.

There was another thread a while back about the shift from second to third. Be smooth and don't shift fast or jam it into third.

You a SCOF member? I wrote a procedure on there for SPF owners that don't want to drop the tranny. It's not too terribly difficult, but you will need the right tools.

I have the tko 500 with the stock shifter (Tall and bent forward). Will one of these work on my car? Can I still use my handle?

thanks,
tom

I have the Steeda with original dog leg handle. I'm pretty sure you can also use the stock handle with the Pro-shift kit. Some guys really like the short Jordan shifter, but I like look of the original and it works for me.

See RedBarchetta's post for the Performance Unlimited link. Performance Unlimited just saved me 20 bucks on the car cover I wanted. I would check their price.
