Reply to "Cable shifter conversion kit"

bosswrenchMember

a Few years ago I had this shifter on approval in my shop for 6 months and could not get motivated enough to jump thru the hoops needed to install it for testing. The version I had was made of 1" thick 6061 aluminum plate and weighed about 2.5X what an entire stock shifter assembly does. Installation is not plug-and-play due to the cable length requirement. Lloyd Butfoy worked on the development for his 6-speed conversion and said that at the end, it worked 'OK' but was no improvement, so he sold the rights to another shop. Now it appears its been sold again.

IMHO, the stock Pantera shifter, once the redundant shift detent is removed from under the console (a 5.0 minute, no-cost mod) and is adjusted to the specs in the Red Owners Manual, works very well. I suggest using the money to buy some good wheels, tires and brakes. The kit GT-40 guys seem to like the cable shifters over what the car makers supply. My 2 cents- J DeRyke
