Default Shift parts bling!

Our very own SSK! All shiney and new

This is certainly not new ground... Andreas, Albert, Cactizzle... and more, have all been there and done that.

We had various requests for this so Darin and I have been working on creating a complete, bolt in Short Shift Kit similar to Weltmeister's minus all of the pain and suffering. This is a complete kit with no cutting, grinding or welding needed. It replaces the fixed forward rod completely including the ball/cup joints and front mount plate. All stainless steel

We recently got a couple of kits completed and are almost ready to send them off to their new homes.
Mike (Arena993) I haven't forgotten about you...

Let the testing begin!

You guys are working hard. I'll have to make another stop to check it out. Will you be putting this in your car (or Darin's)?

Reminds me of a very long front tie rod assembly from a kart...looks like the same tie rod ends.

Very nice, nice to see someone developing and offering these sort of pieces for our cars. Everyone else is knocking themselves out catering to the 997 set.

Well... there are a couple of challenges with the AWD cars... it could be done but we would need the car in the shop to do it.
The front pivot point for the forward rod is mounted to the torque tube.
Also, the RS lever contacts the center under panel.
I wish there was an easier way but there just isn't. It can be done but requires some metal work.

shoot me a PM or email... We are trying to get a few done for some folks who have been asking for this and are a week or so away from getting more done. Once testing is done it will more more quickly. Time, we need time!

Thanks Bill, we really enjoy this stuff.
I would have thought there wouldn't be room for improvement but there are some things that hadn't been done yet.

There are lots of things that can be done to these cars,
the shift linkage is a great starting point
front end suspension brace is another to go w/ the solid rear mounts(ERPs need some improvement by the way)
these are use on RSRs, the pics are Geoffrey's work




electronic p/s would be nice
