Rip Shifter

[Big Russ]

I've got a monaro Vxr and i've been reading about people installing the ripshifter, just wondered if mine already has one as i bought it secondhand. The reason i'm asking is because when people opt for the ripshifter it eliminates missed gear changes. I've got to say i have never missed a gear and i do drive it quiet hard at times. just wondered if there were any tell tale signs when there fitted? Many thanks

You could remove the trim around the gear leaver and have a look? See if it looks like the picture on the fishes site

Funnily enough I've got one on ebay with pictures so you can see if it's anything like that. The handle's distinctive enough.

The round thing's a twin plate clutch

To save all that mucking around - if the throw is long and wallowy then you have a standard shift - if it is short and tight then you may have the Ripshifter. They are night and day in terms of feel.

I remember when I joined the ranks about three years ago someone was describing the standard shifter and like forcing it through custard - and mine felt just like that. Then I changed to the Ripshifter and everything was sweet!
