RipShift?

[booster]

Having trawled through earlier posts it seems that there are mixed opinions. It seems the biggest problem was excess noise. How bad is it? Is it possible for it to be as quiet as a standard shift?

are you coming to the "Walkabout" on Monday? if so I will show you how good the ripshifter is...............

As for noise that only happens if you fit it wrong!!!

I'm gonna try and make it if possible. Are you at picadors next week as i'm coming into check out the exhaust and remap with graham. Who could fit the ripshifter properly?

Any one can fit a Ripshifter as long as they follow the instructions. Make sure that the guy doing it does not rotate the gear knob or the catch mechanism will break and your knob will be loose. Also use thread lock as the instructions say. I know of one well know garage that did not and the customer was lucky not to have the whole thing come apart. Also there are some specific instructions for Monaro's that could require removal of metal around the entrance of the gear into the tunnel, make sure this is done or the linkage will sound worse than the original.

I had mine done by a garage here on the Isle of Wight, they did an excellent job and I have been enjoying and positive shift ever since. Even the garage owner said it was a very worthwhile modification when he drove it.

Hey Booster. Let me know how much & where you get yours from. If it's cheaper to get 2 (or more if anyone else is interested) let me know as I could do with one. Similarly for fitting.

we get a good discount when ordering 5-10 off......but still expect about £300 delivered!!

I will ask "Phonsey" to get me a upto date price.....

"Graham" want's one so you are upto 3 (any more??)

If you're ordering then I'll definitely have one provided it doesn't affect warranty - do you know if it does?. Also Could I get it fitted at picadors?
Thanks,
Brian

what exactly is a rip shifter?
is it a quick shift?
or a seqential type gear lever mechanism!

[booster]

I'm sure the experts could give a far more detailed description but it's basically a quick shift, not sequential. Check out www.gmmotorsport.com.
