wilbo666 Forums Junkie Location: Brisbane Registered: May 2002	Re: W5X short shifter designs Thu, 17 March 2005 02:19 UPDATE: I have time to prototype my design and prove it. I buttwelded the stick 16mm and with the spacer on top of the shifter housing, it did not foul, and appears to work quite well . The idea has been proven and I'm now seriously looking into production, as such I and have some queries... * Would you be comfortable with a brass bush instead of the toyota green bush. (this would be both cheaper, easier and better!). * How many people would prefer rubber isolation of the upper section of the gearstick? (it would be cheaper and easier to manufacture without rubber isolation). I know stefan is a little girl and would prefer rubber isolation, but it is a sizable amount of extra work/cost. What is the group consensus? stefan * The stock shifter has an 'ugly' stick and a 'pretty' stick. The Ugly stick goes over the pretty stick, with rubber inbetween - it's there for a reason. My shifter 'pretty' stick is solid alum, and it feels much too direct for me and transmits lots of vibrations * If produced I would make it so that the stock outer rubber boot would be able to be mounted as per the factory arrangement (I agree it does reduce noise a LOT!) stefan * Noise. Will the stock rubber boots be able to go over it? I haven't got that far with mine yet, but if it doesn't, I'll be selling it! Bear in mind that this will be a direct replacement (i.e. it won't require you to do anything to your existing shifter other than remove it). Much along the same lines as Jim Kings shifter. I'm unsure of what the price will be at this stage...I suspect around the $200 mark tho this may indeed change (I haven't received quotes as such yet). If there isn't support at this price I will abandon the idea, and look further into a modification that can be done on an exchange basis (at that price I suspect I will make very little, I will however make the machinist rich ). Does any one have any other questions, queries or comments to add? Cheers Wilbo [Report message to a moderator]
