Reply to "Cable shifter conversion kit"

I can certainly see the desire; I desired one but I also needed one. I actually looked at putting the shafts back in for the rod shifter but the path way has been blocked by all the changes I have made.

I personally hatted adjustment on the rod shifter. When adjusting my old one, I was bouncing back and forth across proper adjustment and was extremely frustrating. I think the metal had seated in a way it would not sit where it needed to sit.

I also did not like some of the feel when the trunions dry out and they do not move as smooth as they should; jerky. I mean, I understand that's proper maintenance and such....

I like the idea of being able to make minor adjustments from time to time with a turn buckle. It just seems to make sense.

If we discounted every different thing tried we would have stock Pantera's because there is nothing wrong with a 100% stock Pantera.

As far as weight, I did not weight them but weighing the shafts, and the cast shifter I don't really see how there is enough weight to make any difference in either direction.
