Id say that sounds like a plan.

We have wsus and labs... just a few prod machines that didn't want to shut down and a few oversights by the dbas

This thing seems kinda gimmicky to me. I don't see how it will improve anything since you still need to do everything you needed to to before to shift, just the motion of the shifter has changed.

It looks cool, and it will appear that you have a sequential transmission, but I don't think this will improve performance in anyway.

The more I think about that shifter the more I think it's a bad idea. Unless I'm missing something obvious.

With a regular shifter - since the shift cables are attached to the shifter that is free to 'float' around its pivot and is not bolted to the chassis there are no alignment issues. The transmission determines the location of the knob relative to the chassis for each gear. This location could and probably will be slightly different from car to car, and even from cruising, to braking hard, to accelerating hard, to turning hard.

With this shifter the cables are attached to a drum which is bolted down onto the chassis. This makes the location of each gear fixed relative to the chassis, the location will never change with relation to the chassis so 'must' change with relation to the transmission as it moves around.

So using this shifter would at best be similar to driving around putting pressure on the shift knob as you go around bends, accelerate or brake.

At worst (if the alignment isn't very precise) it would be like driving around with pressure on the shift knob all the time.

I know what your saying but the shifter cable mount is far enough forward of the shifter box that I think there is still going to be some slop in there. Id like to see how their cam and drum design works, I just cant figure it out trying to visualize.

Ive been reading up on it and the initial set-up can be a bit tricky but from what people say it works very well.

The only reason I am debating about it is for 3 reasons. First is my shifter is so tight it gets hard to rip through the gears. IDK if something is binding anywhere or whatnot. Secondly is its a more precise shift, I havent heard of too many missed shifts with using this. Third, its out of the ordinary. I like to try new things. Although it wont create anymore performance what I think it will do is be more consistent.

So I am just coming to realize I will need som Preventive maintenance coming up soon. How hard is it to do the timining belt? should I go with a stocker, or are there better alternatives? Who in here can I solicite to help, and what will it cost me? I am at 53K now, but within the next two months for sure. Wow that means almost 100K miles in evo over the last 2 years or so. Loved every minute of it too.

I have a list of just what you need for the timing belt, your on your own for the balance belt stuff
