Prodimex shifter kit improvements over the stock unit:
- Complete new gear shifter mechanism machined from billet aluminium.
- SKF PTFE lined spherical bearing pivot - maintenance free.
- Crossgate centre return spring for improved shift feel and self centring.
- End stop screw for the 1st-2nd gear gate to improve shift feel.
- Ballraced pivots for zero free play.
- Mount brace to connect the shifter directly to the floor. Optional installation of an extra rivnut to stabilise the mount (please see Important Notes below).
- Complete new crossgate bellcrank for the gearbox side cable connections - significantly better quality than stock for longer life and smoother shifts.
- No modification to the car necessary and it fits under the original plastic gear shift cover.
The precision assembly ensures there is no unwanted mechanical play in the gear selector assembly, so the only limiting factor with this kit is the gearbox itself. Unlike other short shifters on the market, this kit reduces both crossgate and shift throw. The result of this is no unwanted slop in the gear change and much more precise gear selection.
Included parts:
- Pre-assembled aluminium shifter with stainless steel gear stick (your original gear knob will fit).
- Aluminium shifter mount brace.
- Aluminium crossgate bellcrank & mount.
- Mounting hardware inc. rivnut for extra floor mounting point.
Important notice: You will need to purchase either OEM Cable Fittings or Aftermarket Cable Fittings to go with this kit.
Kits for Honda converted cars are available as well. These kits do not include the gearbox bellcrank for the Rover PG-1 gearbox. Please be aware that, whilst this shifter has been installed successfully on a number of Honda converted cars, we cannot guarantee that it will work with yours as many engine swapped cars are different.
Version 2 upgrades
Version 2 upgrades
This is the "version 2" type and includes numerous small improvements over the original kit.
The main improvements are an improved crossgate return spring and some small reliability and installation improvements.
We have also reduced weight from the shifter and crossgate bellcrank by machining away unnecessary material.
Important Notes
Important Notes
The shifter itself is universal for both RHD and LHD cars, however the mount brace component is different. LHD and RHD units are available so please specify which version you require.
For RHD cars, one extra rivnut can be installed optionally in the floor, or two rivnuts for LHD versions. This is recommended but not a requirement if you wish to keep the car original.
The kits are designed to work with a fitting kit. If you have OEM gear cables then please purchase an OEM cable fitting kit. If you have aftermarket cables, please purchase the aftermarket cable fitting kit.
If you have not replaced your gearbox crossgate linkage in the past, it is recommended to purchase a new one.
