Yeah same here, perfect time to purchase one, my motor and box are out at the moment. will certainly make for a easier installation.

How we goin here bomber do we need 5 just on here or are you joining this with members from ff.au?


Ill keep the 2 separate it will make it a lot easy for processing them also i think there is enough demand on both forumsI have a mate that may be interested Will check with him on the weekend as his shifter is being released very shortly by Billet.

to anyone thinking of getting one, DO IT, i have been driving around with one installed (with pos stops) and it has made a huge improvement, especially when just traffic driving.

do it, do it, do it :)

what's the shifter do, does it make it a bit firmer in the shifts and make the 2nd to 3rd shift a bit easier?

Interested at the moment, but $$ for rego is coming up.
any more info on the product?

You would have to speak to bamber himself for all the deatailed info, but what i can tell you is that it will reduce the length of shifts between all gears, firmer, more positive feel on shifts and a straight gate between 2nd and 3rd making it alot easier to quickshift 2nd to 3rd.
Also if you go to the positive stops it will prevent over shifting causing damage to synchros.
