After market shifters

[Big Nick]

Hi all just purchased my first bay (I have Seen the Light) after years of Dub ownership nay thoughts on after market shifters, want to improve the porridge stirring that is otherwise known as gear selection. I was thinking of a Hurst style EMPI shifter any thoughts or recommendations would be appreciated.

Gene Berg no question

i have a CSP one on mine , it rocks , my brother in law has a Scat one for sale if you fancy it PM me if you like :wink:

Nice options - but you can't beat the Empi for price!

 

[Tofufi]

Just to add to the mix (no pun intended in reference to gear selection) I like my stock gearstick. It makes changing gear more like exercise as I have to reach forward to find first and third

like the sound of the Gene Berg shifter. Easy to fit??

You have to follow the instuctions supplied to the tee.

Not cheap but worth it.

I would be tempted to sort out the original linkage first if it's that bad,you could have worn bushes underneath which need sorting first.Otherwise you'll still be stiring porridge with your new shifter too!

Don't get the empi one because when its in first gear, it gets in the way of the handbrake! You have to put it in 3rd gear so you can get the handbrake on properly!

You can't beat a scat dragfast Nick. I just like the clunkieness of the shift. Looks much better than hurst/empi too!

change the shifter plate that sits underneath the original shifter (costs about £5), fixed my gear shifter issue and blocked reverse so you have to push the lever down to get reverse.

I'll second that - makes hill starts a pain!

At this rate i'll end up buying it. My locking berg shifter is some where in Texas waiting shipping via a friend. I paid for it ages ago and got a feeling it won't ever turn up.

I've fitted a CSP shifter to my EB, it is great. and looks good too 8)

No more stretching, especialy with the og static belts

Thanks for the info guys and the offer of the Dragfast, guess the Empi shifter is off the cards and the Scat shifter aint quite my style, would love a Berg shifter (which was top of my list) however I have just checked out the price!!!! Would like more info on the CSP effort though, piccies, install advice etc.

Many thanks guys!!
