bother works guys, or we weill never see one!

 

The 6-speed shifter is a completely different animal. The pivot point is actually on the bottom rather than residing in the middle. So, you can't play with the pivot point and/or length of the shifter on either side as is possible in the 5-speed. It's not so much the reverse interlock as it is the cable connections. It's just a more complex unit that will take a little time to sort everything out.

 

I see but does that mean that you guys are in the process of making one for the MR? If so do u know if or when it will be comming out? Thanks

 

Jamie---(WORKS),


I still would like to have a short shifter though. I hope you guys come up with something for us 6 speed owners.

please do something... compared to my friend's 5-speed kart boy shifter... the MR shifter feels like it came out of a semi.

 

I don't know why anyone would want to shorten up the throw but then again I'm an old fart who didn't play video games and is used to rowing gears.

Anytime that you reduce movement of the shifter you also reduce the resolution of the movement, which will lead to more problems, due to the fact that any shifting errors the driver makes will be amplified at the transmission.

True but if u do shift correctly you can/will have a faster throw which is why it would be nice to have one, but i do see ur point.

 

i wonder if a STI short shifter will work since they have the six speed and they have the pull thing for reverse just like the MR.

 

man...WTF! aren't there evo9 MR's out now. so where the F U C K are our Short shifters!

 

+1 (not on the old fart bit, though)



I'll never go to a Short-throw kit again. Shortened throw is cool, but at the cost of reduced leverage and increased notchiness/resistance. Count me out.

To be honest, I would actually like the MR shift rod to be another 2-3" taller.
