Would be really cool. But I would think our piece would be much simpler (cheaper) than the picture above. Do you have any pics of the complete setup?

So are the units currently available. As I've said, I've done this for myself. I'm not in the business. If its of interest to someone else, I'll help out and share as I always do. As to the pictures, I promised I'd post once the piece is complete. Not much point until then,

BTW - if you put a spherical bearing on the connection to the rod you will not be able to get any gears...

Chris, come on, give me some credit,
OF course thats taken into consideration of the design. Hence the comment earlier on the need for combination bearings to take up the shear loads. The only part that is similar to the picture above is the shifter itself. The mechanism operates and is mounted in the stock location.


Chris, check your email.

beautiful piece but I am sure that will be a $500+. seem's a bit much for a shifter, but for the racers out there I bet that will be a must have.

Will it offer adjustment on the length of the shift i.e. the distance from the pivot point to where the shift linkage connects?

Also want to express interest, As long as it's not insanely priced. Any idea on shifter height compared to stock?
