![]() Also, i can feel a thicker part half way up (or Down) the stock shifter. It kind of feels like 2 rods that thread each other. Does anyone know if the 2nd half just screws off and then the stock knob screws onto the bottom half, or is it for something else? TDK[/color ![]()

![]() B&M Short throw shifter - Being sold by a dealer I'm getting a price from a B&M dealer in Sydney. If anyone is interested maybe i can arrange a group buy and get it a bit cheaper. If everyone can let me know if they are interested then i can work something out. I'm not sure how much they normally cost but i'm guessing about $250 (thats AUS$) TDK[/color ![]()

![]() KARTBOY BUSHINGS KARTBOY also has the short shifters. I've been told that they are also pretty good, and they are about US$30 cheaper. But the B&M are better in build and also the B&M comes with it's own bearings where the KARTBOY shifter uses the original. Many people prefer the B&M(by people i mean the users and sellers of short shifters in the U.S., specifically SP20 owners). But i guess it's another option. I'm going a head with this even if I do it alone. But I think this is a great opportunity for us to get the best products for a good price if we do this together. There are readily available short shifters in Aus., but they are all 2nd class products and i thought that if i'm going to do it then i'm doing it right. So pass the word around. Just to make sure, this is for the SP20. TDK[/color ![]()

![]() 1) The shifter we should get is a TWM 2nd GEN. short throw shifter. It's better than the KARTBOY and about par with the B&M. the goog the about the TWM is that it's cheaper, gear knob is 2inches lower than stock and it comes with bushings to eliminate problems with a heat shield. This shifter is US$129+shippingUS$25=US$154. But remember that this price is for the sale of 1 set. If we can get a group buy happening the price will drop. Here is the site: TWM short shifter 2) To compliment the TWM shifter (along with all the other shifters) we need to get the KARTBOY bushings. These bushings help the new shifter to fall into gear much easier. They also remove the stock spongey feel. US$25+shippingUS$?. Here is the site: KARTBOY shifter bushings I think this way we will get the best products for the best price. I will need atleast 4 people to continue. If everyone can pass the word it would be much appreciated. I will place a order for my self in a weeks time. So if you are interested please get back to me before then. If we have enough people for the group buy then we will discuss how we are going to make the payment. Thanks, TDK[/color ![]()

![]() be interested in having their shifters modified for a shorter shift. *The $300+ price tag put them out of it for me as I must admit I was expecting a MrGasket type shifter you know rectangular with the name embossed down the side all chrome etc. *If I threw a ballpark figure of say $100 for it who would be interested. I have wanted to do this for years now but I have put it off as I expected most people would say no to the welding job for just 1 but you would have way less of a problem for a couple. Let me know if anybody is interested. Regards Mal[/color ![]() Edited By BigMal on 1049137183
