Can a G3 wieghted shift rod be fitted to a G2 along with a short shift kit ? I had a trimsport short sift kit on mine and fittted the weighted rod I had, couldn't get 3rd or 5th so I've taken the shift kit off for now ift kit Can I fit the shift kit upwards instead or would that put too much an angle on the rod thanks in advance
yes it should work, but the rod might end up hitting the box so you may have to flip it over if that makes sence?
Couldn't combine the two on my 16v, as you say i can't get 3rd or 5th with them both on, but on my 8v gearbox they both fitted on no problem, very odd!
yes 8v box gotta say the throw now theres no short shift is huge, like I need to remove my console for more room - the throw may well outway the weighted rod
all depends on what combo of bits you're running, one way i fitted it resulted in the rod smakin the gearbox, I flipped it over and that sorted the problem
sorry meant mine an 8v box and didnt work, but it did for james? must be slight differences in gearbox casings? i prefer the shorter throw, so got rid of the weight. could always gring a bit off the weighted rod?
gearbox castings are all the same, its to do with which type of short shifter you go for plus how much it reduces the throw by
this s like the one I have, they must have modded it slightly as my one from trimsport hasn't got the 2 holes just the one
yeah that one seems to cause more problems, especially if you go for the one closest to the edge as it pushes the rod further forward than its supposed to be. Have you got it set so the offset bit is facing upwards (basically having the rod as high as possible)
no I had it set downwards, and tbh 5th was always a tad hard to get in, if I flip it then will it put the weithed rod at too higher an angle........I suppose theres only one way to find out
definately mate, when I took it of and left the weighted rod on tried the gears the throw is so long I'm going to flip and try it that way
well it don't work if you flip the short shift kit and fit it pointing up, actually makes the throw even bigger which makes sense so its either weight rod or short shift ...............
