quick shift
Turbo Mini Forums

is there any point in having a quick shift? because i can only change gear as fast as i can slam the clutch down to the floor, so wud there be any point in it.

i love my quick shift. id say have a feel of one.

basically what you get is instead of 1st gear to 2nd gear being 11 inches apart, with quickshift there 3 inchs appart if you know what i mean.

no longer a series, but still 1.3 turbo.

it is what it is a quick gear change less time on the clutch

what i ment jimmy, is i can change into gear faster than i can move my left foot. good point about the 11" gap thingy i suppose it makes it feel a lot tighter sort of thing. il get 1 tomorrow anyway. cheers

Just going to say that Alex, as even when your going stow round town, a slow gear change with a quick shift might well be faster than you would normaly change gear. There for possible wear things quicker. That's why i haven't got one. never say never though.

You would get to a gear quicker but its limited to how quick you put the clutch in.

We have been accused of having an automatic gear box (by some loony) because our gear changes are so fast. I don't think we would be near as fast without the quick shift.

Don't forget that if you are driving properly both hands should be on the wheel before a change. So you should include some of the time moving you hand to the gearstick as time to depress the clutch.

A man without a project is like a like a woman without a shopping list.

And we don't give a shit about syncro life.

And the engine and seleter are solid mounted, which helps LOADS.
