Quick Shifter

[Richiev]

Has anybody had this done to their rolla, i am thinking of doing this however i am not actually sure how this works (that is how technical i am!) Does the shifter work like the rally cars where you just push the lever forward to go up a gear and pull the lever backwards to go down a gear?

I am also looking at getting a lighter flywheel as well!

any thoughts?

I'm pretty sure the quickshift kit keeps the gear selections as they are, but due to a shorter stick and something else in the mechanics somewhere it all shaves time off between shifts, hence being called a quickshift kit.

Anyone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

I know on an old car I had someone decided to 'bodge' a quickshift kit, took a hacksaw to the gearstick and called it job done.

it just shortens the shift you still ahve to move it side to side.

Thanks nrgizerbunny and Wicker, wasn't sure what the set up was.

I will make sure my mate does the work when i get this as i can trust him to not botch the job.

cheers again.

The Rally lever is a sequential Gearbox, you can get them from companies like Quaife, only thing is your looking at £7,000! :P

wwooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.............bit out of the old price range on that one!

More than the car is worth lol.

Will stick to the quick shifter on that one.

not sure who it was but someone on here got the tte quickshift and another , one of these had a very short throw (roughly60% shorter) but was a lot more stiff, hence why he decided to get the other that had a short throw (roughly 30/40%) but was a lot easier to select gears, cant remember which way round it was but im sure a search will find the thread. also one was a lot easier to fit than the other

Good Point Daz, there is a difference between the TRD & TTE ones, i am sure MiniMarc has got one or the other, shame he is in Oz i think.

ive driven some sequential box cars, Clio for example, and i just couldnt get used to it.

Much prefer the paddle style or the slightly differently layed out style in the formula audi single seater...

I believe the TRD quickshift was easiest to fit and the better version.

The TTE one was harder to fit and too stiff

IIRC

You're correct on both counts there, I do have the TRD shifter and I am in Oz! :P

As has already been mentioned, the TRD one is much easier to fit (if it takes you longer that 30 minutes start to finish I would be extremely surprised. The TRD one comes as a completely assembled unit whereas the TTE one requires you to remove specific parts from the original housing and replace it with the new bits. I know a couple of people have actually damaged the assemblt trying to fit the TTE one because of that.
