hey everyone!
just throwing up a quick review on the buddy club short shifter i got for my EK1.
straight out i'll say its a great improvement! manufacturer says it reduces shift by 30-40%... but it feels like more than that!
now i've driven cars with like B&M and no name shifters installed, and they have this resistive feel to them or feel "clunky"... i found with this one its a more smoother shift and more "natural" feel i guess you could say. the shifter also has no problems going into reverse which i hear can be an issue with aftermarket shifters.
they come specially made for the gearbox too... i got the d-series shifter and also comes in b-series. there is a noticable difference between them visually which gives a piece of mind knowing its designed for you gearbox!
the shifter lever itself is about 1 inch shorter (the section that you grab), so it feels alot different from stock!
thats about all everyone, i'm really happy with this shifter! it was simple to install and makes shifting quicker too when giving the car abit!
i would have thrown up some pics of it compared to stock, but i didn't have my camera with me! i got two pics showing the distance between 1st and 2nd... as you can see its only a small shift! i know they aren't the best, but gives you and idea...
Thanks to Trav for getting it and giving me a hand to install... i can't help i'm a fat man and can't fit under my car... lol!! i belong up poles, not under cars!
Later All!!!
