EFN, what diff between short and quick shifter? your custom made izzit come both (quick+short shifter) or either one? from what l've heard quick shifter will make shifting gear more hard and heavy wheres short shifter for more comfort, please correct me if wrong.

Actually l'm looking for short shifter for my wira that can make gear shifting more smooth and light :P , can yours fulfill my needs? :D

Awseow & Chelnick:
Again Thank You for your support!.

e_mad:

Short Shifter can be literally used to describe a shorthened shifter lever but it does not travel short (normal swing radius)

Quickshift are shifters that have short throw radius and enable you to engage gear without having have to pull or push it deep.

But most of the time people will use either Quickshift and Shortshift to describe the same thing = Short-Throw Quickshifter (the real name for it)

Since my Quickshift mod is a pure custom effort, my customer have an option of wanting to keep the height of the shifter at stock level or shorter. But on how short the travel all depend on what car. Some can mod to be really short and some just enough.

One thing for sure, by the law of Physics - not one single Quickshifter in the market will improve on light and soft shifting. A Quickshifter will have higher fulcrum point and longer downside swing rod - this is the very foundation of all Quickshifters. OEM Standard shifter are made to travel longer because if offers comfort. So if you want to have a Short-Throw Quickshifter in your car, be prepared for a much solid gear engagement (not hard) - but I can guarantee that it will require much less effort and distance to engage gear.

Thanks

sorry bro for the late review on the quickshift
im satisfied with the modifications done. but true i sacrificed my comfort lah hahahaha
but then again it only needs just a simple move to shift gears. the price was also satisfactory

for those who have the intention to do so with this guy i give u my recommendations. good price for a good item and workmanship. and he's a good fella too...only need a few seats or benches la bro to sit to wait n see u do the works hehehehe :P

err...but still...can my shifter be shorten just a little bit more...?
neway thats all from me....shifting happily!! :D

Alit:

Thank you for thew support. Wanna shorten the top lever? Err the shorter the top lever the harder the shifting will be. That's why I don't cut too much on the top portion. You see, Quickshift have longer down section, so if the lever on top is shortenened more it will take a lot more effort to move the other section down there.

Err I hope I am not making you any more confused hahahaha

 

[alittopalooza]

errr...ok...i'm confused already hahaha
actually i just wanted the gear lever to be short...not the shifting...the gearknob to be lowered lah than normal...really short i guess. or izzit bcoz im using standard gear knob so its quite high/tall...if i change to other knobs e.g sparco or momo would it be short?

tq n have a nice day

bro efn....
do u think it is possible to set the angle of the shifter so that it tilts to the rite abit .. nearer to the driver so that when we shift... we wont need to tilt our body to the left ....is there enuf space to do this.......the shifters r working great for me .... enjoying it ... ehehehee
jus that i hav to tilt the body lil bit to the left to utilize more energy to shift the gear since it is stiffer now.....

 

[EFN]

alittopalooza:
Ok ok, yes you might want to use Snooker Ball type of gear knob. Not just it is shorter it is also a lot more suitable for Quickshifts. Specially those heavy ball type.

awsyeow:
Yes it can be tilted to the left a bit. What need to be done is to insert a few mm of washers on the two bolts on the left side of the shifter base. By doing so the shifter will tilt to the right. you get the idea?. If you happen to be able to drop by near my place I can set it up for you. Easy one.

khguan:
It takes a minimum of one hour to fully complete Quckshift mods for Wira. If you are using the original Gear Lock which snap into the Spring Plunger then it will not be usable after that because the fulcrum point has been raised around 2". But if u use U shaped lock then it is still usable. TQ

winlose2582:
Kenari uses the same type of shifter to Kelisa, so it is moddable. As for how it feels. Of course you kenot expect it to get softer after that. Solid is the feeling. Gear engagement remains the same. Will not effect gearbox becoz shifter is a separate assembly.

syiokGILER:
Nope, I forgot to snap pics of Civics shifter becoz the mod is done underneath the car hahahaha

fahmyzs:
Ok fren, when u are back just SMS me and we will set date and time. TQ

THANKS ALL!!!

OK Ok. you can go to any hardware shop and ask for size 13 washers. you might need five for each bolts, So buy ten. I reckon 10 washers would be around RM1.00 only. If it is too much too handle, when u are in KL just meet up with me and I can do it for you. All the Best!
