My Double Quick Shift

Recommended Posts

I have my gear change mechanism modified and would like to share it with you all.

this shows the different between TAS (top & bottom) and original. the bottom part of the lever is about 10mm longer (measured from the pivot point) and this gives a shorter throw. somehow if you look at the top TAS carefully you will see there is a small hole about 35mm above the pivot point, it will CRACK and this is why I have my second one sleeve into a stainless tube and made it longer (which offset the short throw purpose).

extending the L-plate is always the best and cheapest solution for quickshift. you can see my L-plate has three holes to give adjustability.

since the lever is extended, the knob is now much closer to the steering wheel and allows the time of my left hand leaving the steering wheel shorter during gearchange and i do not have to lean forward at all (with my short arm).

That looks good :D What are the switches for on your dash? Are the two on the right for front and rear fog lights? Is that standard for a HK model? I assume that the far left is for the AC? The UK models actually have the letters 'AC' on the switch.

I like the 'one touch' window switches too :)

yes one for A/C which is standard for Hong Kong market and the green one is front fog light (used to be driving light, but i bought the switch to make it switchable even when low beam is on).

 

the one touch, the 405 switches fit perfectly and my friend used the switchbox (little ecu) from a 306. and I have one touch on both side. :D

the quick quick shift can easily be achieved by extending the L-plate about 1 1/2" to 2". but 2" extention will just make your shift very unclear/unprecise, i have tried but i just did not like it at all.

no i mean i love it, i've got an extended L and an extended lever, with a set of metal ball jointed alloy rods, all adjusted to give a proper short precise throw.
