Hey all! I've been working on some new shift **** designs that are out of the ordinary and would like to share what I have come up with to see what everyone thinks. My goal is to make a **** primarily for the M/T market that is completely different than any **** currently on the market. Every other shift **** manufacturer out there sells shift ***** that can be turned on a CNC lathe easily for mass production. I went the opposite route and used a 5-Axis CNC machine to achieve a complex billet **** design. The images below are of my first design. I would really appreciate any constructive criticism or ideas for other styles that are not currently available on the market.

Thanks!

 

Would love to get an AT billet **** with the trigger for an 06 coupe. If u successfully make one I'll be ur first customer

 

Will we have a demo model for AT and MT ready for the Sedan GTG on 09/20?

 

I can definitely have them ready by then.

 

Well either I posted this up in the wrong section or there really isn't much interest for this style of shift ****. Either way, if any of you M/T guys want to try one out and tell me what you think, just shoot me a PM. I'm looking to get some feedback on it and I'm willing to throw one or more out there for free. It feels great in my hand and when I make it out of stainless it will weigh around 450-500 grams which would make shifting a lot smoother. Hope to hear from some of you!

 

this is burnt ti whoooooo

 

Ill be a guinea pig for an automatic one if interested

 

Looking good. How much are you thinking of selling these for?

 

Also willing to be an AT guinea pig lol. if you do start producing them how much are you guestimating it will set me back?

 

Please let me know! Must have

 

At first I didn't like. But the more I look the more interested I am in it! I want to try this baby out. Let me know when you get things rolling pls

 

Obvs the auto guys want something new... Hint hint.

 

Unfortunately I don't think I will be doing one with a trigger system in it. It will cost a lot to design and manufacture. I'll see what I can do though.


Thanks everyone for the input and willingness to test these out. As Urbanengineer mentioned, it looks like you A/T guys are interested in testing these ***** out. I've got the manual ***** ready to test, I just have to do some more programming and design to finish the A/T version of the *****.

As far as the price of these ***** goes... The aluminum versions will be different prices depending on whether it is for a manual or auto. Manual ***** are going to be less expensive because they require less machine time and less parts to complete the ****. The A/T ***** will be comparable in price to the current ball style ***** that SXEXCX has for sale in the vendor section. However, I do plan on offering a special introductory price for these ***** so if you are interested I will take your name down and keep it in a safe place for when I have them ready to distribute.

Stay subscribed for more pictures to come. I've got two versions of this **** done now and I'm about to post up some more pictures.

 

Manual shift ***** are more commonplace as you can easily create them... Nothing for AT's really other then SEC's, and I'm not a fan of the large ball type.

Please use a **** system other then the push down on the ball type. These are dangerous for spirited driving.

Just curious as to why you feel the push down are more dangerous for spirited driving? I haven't heard of anyone with issues with them as of yet, but I would like to hear why you feel that way about them so I can give it consideration to make a non push down type.
