I was really hoping to get away from that 1-2 shift but its just not going to happen.

That sucks. Have you change gearing in the rearend?

No But I dont think you would want to go much shorter because then you would have to shift once more at the top of the 1/4 mile. I just wish 1st gear was a little taller. Maybe with a beefy clutch? Even then thats alot of heat from slipping it that much.

I guess I could experiment with going taller. I just know next to nothing about working on differentials. lol

I know Mr.Squeeze swears by it.

I agree 1st gear is completely useless now. I have trouble shifting fast enough 1-2.

I came across this last year. Not sure if it would help us or not.

Well isnt that neat. I would be curious to know how it can find the gates if your hand on the shifter cannot? Does it just slam right through them? In a dogbox its pretty simple but this not so much.

Tried looking for more info without anything. Maybe it didnt work?

I have no idea. I was walking through the new product area and saw this... VQ... 6 speed... ok, got my interest. There wasn't much to see or read, basically exactly what the pictures are.

I didn't bring it up earlier because I thought it must be for some other kind of Nissan VQ that I don't know about, thinking this would have been all over the forum if it was for our car.

Mitco39 · 10-03-2014, 01:04 PM

According to their website it will work on any cable shifter system. However our cars do not have cables, its a direct linkage to the gearbox.

So! Anything new and interesting Mitch?

Mitco39 · 08-24-2015, 05:57 PM

I have not posted in here in some time I see, lol. We finally got settled in our new place with a much bigger garage with room for activities

Went through some fuel issues and now that the engine side is 100% I was able to do a few aesthetic mods to it over the weekend.

Yeah, if it didnt come with the house I probably would have went with a 2post just because you can do much more with it. For example try dropping the engine with a 4 post or lifting a cab off a truck. haha. But it came with the house so im not complaining, our next shop will have a 2post.

Mitco39 · 08-25-2015, 04:44 PM

With our dollar dropping like a dead fly it might be a little longer. Nothing like paying a 30% premium now... ugh
