Anyone?

I'm liking the idea, but how long is the throw normally? Gents who have the current throw setup?

My M5 was improved dramatically when I fitted one (for me anyhow), so this maybe the route to take at the build stage.

I have a friend who had a stock Porsche unit in his lola T70 racer and it fell part in under a year.

I have this unit, it works well and you won't break it.

I have the std Porsche shift mech & G96/50. The throw is fairly long, so I'd be interested in a short shift.....

Crossram - Do you have links for the kits you've pictured above?

Well spotted. That's more like it.
I can't be that bad, can it? It's not going to be made of putty.

All you're going to do is transfer ALL of the stress to the (plastic) base part of the shift mech!

ETS Just seen Mr Crossrams post above.

Well if you don't try ........

Agreed, but given the short shift will only cause more stress than normal on the plastic sub-frame base, I suspect the base is what really needs looked at first.

Looked at the base - does not seem that delicate, maybe your just a brute with your gear change sweetie
