Short shifter

[robcoles]

I’m looking to fit a short shift as my gears change has so much play. Before I look on eBay would anyone have one to sell ?

What is it you are trying to achieve I never had any issues with the gear change all I did was take out the rubber part of the stick, then weld a piece back on to get it where I wanted. I did spin the selector around which I felt gave better feel & a reversing switch.

I want to reduce the throw, my gears select easily enough but it’s like stirring a bowl of porridge. My last freestyle had a short shifter & I preferred the tighter feel

Try looking at the roll pins at the gearbox end & the size of the holes through both the shaft coming out of the box & the shepherds crook. Get somebody to move the stick whilst you watch how much it has to be moved before the input shaft moves.

cut the stick and take out the play
