Hi guys,
I'm getting the pricing to you shortly, just want to make sure about the shipping as quotes don't always reflect the true cost. As for the Kartboy bushings, unfortunately it doesn't look like we'll able to help you out on that front (conflict of interest), we can look into other bushings though if needed, like Energy Suspension... Keep the feedback coming though, the amount of interest will make it possible for me to give the best price. Thanks, Marc TWM Performance |

Thanks Marc
I think i will zap the kartboy's from the list as it appears these shifters do not require them?

Just a word, have a talk to Chicaboo about the newer type TWM S/shifters if you haven't. They have a different attachment to the gearbox linkage compared to the type that everyone bought last year that don't require the kartboy bushes. However from what Chicaboo has been telling me, they are more temperamental and the bolt that goes through the bottom on the shifter is a lot thinner and prone to snapping. The old type used the stock bolt, hence this wasn't a problem.

I think part of the problem is the spacers provided are not long enough for the BJ's heatshield. So when the shifter is in 1st, 3rd and 5th, it or the shift arm hits the heatshield, which is where I think a SOME of the difficulty was coming from when I had trouble engaging these gears. But mind you, the weighted shift knob I put on there last week made the problem half as bad as it was.
Also a vigerous drive the day after I put the weighted shiftknob on, loosened it up even more, hopefully the cheapest thing that was chafing has worn away and not my shifter or shift arm! The problems I have been having should be rectified with some fancy transmission oil and a visit to my heatshield with a mallet... I will let you guys know what I find under the car this weekend, Gav. |

Your shifter comes with bearings to be exact. Unless you are still offering the old style model that used the bushings out of the base of the stock unit?
The bushings that people have been talking about go on the gearbox where the dead shift arm attaches to it. These are well worth the $60aud+ shipped from Corksport! |

heat shield and mallet? it's paper thin and can be bent easily. when i put the shifter in hi-res's car, i just bent the heat shield down so it was between the shifter and exhaust. 10 second job

Hi Marc,
The gearbox bushings are a strange beast, they actaully took a lot of waggle out of my shifter alltogether which was good. I probably have more vibration over a shorter distance, but it is so fine now I don't motice it, and the large waggle on the shifter beforehand was much worse I must say. Plus the precision of the shift is so great with the gearbox bushings, but it does get pretty tight with the BB style shifter. |

Hate to be annoying, but is there somewhere I can see a pic of the shfter, and how wide does it get (ie the thickness of the shifter)?
Cheers |
