Rip shifter

[Bonnie and Clyde]

For a VXR8. Has anyone done it yet? Although the standard shift isn't to bad its crap compared to the Monaro (with Ripper) The Monaro feels so much tighter. Any views??

[Bonnie and Clyde]

Just looking at MF site it doesn't look as though they do one !!!!!!!!

[Bonnie and Clyde]

Just found one on the Walkinshaw site. "Short shifter" anyone got one??

Yep agree with that one Auto is a lovely drive once you get used to amount of throttle for amount of kickdown changes, its such a relaxing way to drive, fuel economy is no worse on my journeys either compared to Callaway LS1 in my old GTS-R

look forward to trying it on the ring later this year!!! if I can fool the missus saying this turning is a shortcut..

That would mean ordering stuff in myself. I just want to drop the car in and drive out with it done. I'm lazy like that

I would have thought Rog would have been on by now. They must be busy
I'm surprised no one has got one fitted.

Hi Mel,

I am sure Wortec/MF do them TBH. There are two designs (i.e. Rippie and another make) on the VXR8 and I have heard both are very good.

Cheers

Yeah G&M Rip shifter and the other Ripshifter as well Donkv8 had the Ripshifter which has shorter throws. He might still have it spare actually. I think there is a B&M us design to the same spec. The G&M one is good I like it very tight, slightly shorter throws, but nothing super brillant.

You can try mine one day Mel

I have a B&M Rip shifter going spare if anybody want's it. I'll never use it now as I've bought an auto.

Cheers Rich. I hear there's something wrong with your engine now? Thought it was just your clutch??? If its been discussed already can you give me a link to the thread please.

I would but my phones playing up

Before I waste the best part of £500:00 on a Rip Shifter, why do some people not like them? is it the noise or are they really for competition use and as such not so good when using it for day to day driving?
I hate to ask but are these made by General Motors? or is it a seperate company?

We dont actually, not for VXR8. TBH, ive not found one that offered the kind of improvement i was looking for. As per normal, i dont sell stuff i dont like. Ive tried 2 different ones, but of course, there maybe others out there that are really good.
