I wish I had the cash for a sequential dog box that would make the car a bit easier to go crazy with.
Sadly, so much coin is needed for the very frequent rebuilds (as well as being able to handle that 'down time', i.e.; this is NOT your only car [wink]) required by a sequential 'box, besides the co$tly initial outlay for the (Sadev) unit itself. [:(] [:(]

I could achieve the same effect by shortening my arm... At considerably more expense & inconvenience.
Hahahaha. Maybe we could invent a hand that hooks to the middle of your arm. Or something like the one man puppet so you don’t even have to move your hand from the wheel. https://youtu.be/dNWMfciB7Cw

Not sure what you mean? Surely the gear control cable is moving the same distance despite the shorter shift and your gearbox is oblivious to what's happening? Open to correction on this of course...

I didn't want to hijack the thread. Go here to discuss short shifters and the (possible) untimely demise of your synchros :)
