short shifter??

[vuonguz]

i wonder if theres any shortshifter for our rvrs i havent heard any so far have u guys?

 

[MattL]

Yeah they exist. A mate of mine has one on his HSG Manual.

I think they're the same as the Evo 3 Short Shifter.

Yes, it is an inconvenietly long throw eh!
Matt did your mate fit it, is does he know for sure it's evo 3 gear?

cheers

Nope, a shop found it and fitted it, however I'm pretty sure it's the same.

I'll give him a call later and ask.

so does the evo 3 short shifter fit on our RVRs

 

[MattL]

Oh yeah! I forgot to reply.

I believe the Eclipse uses the same shifter, not an Evo3.

U can always shorten it urself. Slice the top. Then cut the stick off from the rest and re weld it down to where it is comfy

Hey guys,
I know this is a way old thread now.
So did we decide on the Evo 3 short shifter or the Eclipse?

Also my knob is very loose (ha), anyone know what part I should be checking/replacing? is it the Shift link bush? if so where would I find said bush?

Hey all ;-), it's been a while since last post but I saw this topic and thought I would add my 20 cents or whatever it is these days with inflation etc. I performed a short shift on my SG before ripping the drivetrain out, it cost about $5 tops, I got a drill and simply put a hole in the forward throw shift thing on the gearbox closer to the bit that goes into the box, replaced the rubber bushing on the cable with a cut piece of cutting board, drilled the hole in the centre and wacked it all together with a SS bolt with a big arse washer on both sides and 2 nuts to lock it all. Without sounding like captain dodgy, it works a treat, shift throw is 4 inches total without changing any of the mechanism. Just an idea that I thought could be worth a go.
