Hi all, I have a quick question if you don't mind.
Will an aftermarket shifter that was designed for
a Japanese or European spec EVO VII work in a
US spec 2002 Lancer. I would asume that the
linkage from the transmission to the shifter would
be the same. I'm just not to sure about the dfferences
in the all wheel drive tranny. The reason I'm asking is
there's a company in Japan called Ikeya, they make a
sequential shifter for the EVO VII that changes it from a
H-patern, to the up-down motion. Any info would be
great. Thanks

 

i dunno....... hmmm if someone knows... please reply... cuz this is kind of interesting...

 

Hey, I found the web site. I hope so much the shifter will work on the
US Lancer.

You still have to use the clutch, but to have a sequential
shifter would be unreal.

 

anyone

 

im poretty sure cause the b&m shifter is for the evo

 

Thanks liquidlancer,
I hope it works, its going to be 120,000 yen plus shipping to
the US, which comes to about a $1000. But thats a whole
lot cheaper than $10,000+ for a full sequential.

 

If this works what the hell are you going to do with the componentry that controls the rear half of the drive system? I'm VERY skeptical of this whole idea. The shifting column itself may be the same but I'm prone to think that everything else from there on would be significantly different.

 

PjaI84,
This is what I'm trying to figure out. If I'm reading the
website correctly, installing this sequential shifter from
Ikeya would be no different than installing a B&M short
shifter. It still uses a shift fork that moves the cables
which controls which gear the tranny is in. Just in a
up and down motion, enstead of the traditional H patern.
Thanks

 

agreed, how would the gear linkage have anything to do with fwd/rwd/awd ? might be retarded and I may get a link thrown at me for ignorance, but I would think at the point of gear selection it should all be synonyms.

 

I found another website that shows the shifter in a EVO VII RHD.
Looks like it will work.

I'm going to try and order one on monday, and will keep you guys
posted. I can't wait. Thanks

 

Can you call or email the company, if you ask them, they will know for sure.

 

So is anyone here using the Ikeya sequential lever or similar? Need some opinions on this product please I have an Evo 6 in England and no-one seems to have them over here.

Cheers

We have sequential shifter in an old Colt. It is wild. Trying it out in there for now. It has big LED gear indicator and everything! FUN stuff! Answeering your question, it would fit the U.S. Lancer. We can get them.

I'm guessing that if you want to shift up you just keep on hitting the shifter forward? and to go down in gears you throw it backwards?

 

here...check these guys out...i have seen their banner off and on on this site
http://www.seqshiftusa.com/
the intro shows what a sequential shifter does and how it works
but looks like about $1800 for kit and install
