It will fit the later KM132 gearboxes with the longer extension housings (GJ onwards and starion)

just wondering if anyones actuallly bought one of these?

I'm considering one for my new rally Starion.
Questions : How thick is the spacer under the pivot point, & how long is the throw from 1st to 2nd ?

How thick is the spacer under the pivot point

There isn't a "Spacer". He has raised the pivot point AND lengthened the shaft under the pivot point.

how long is the throw from 1st to 2nd ?

8cm

The shifter isn't a standard shifter that has been modified, they are built from scratch.

OK, got the picture now. Geez that is a really short throw as my Staz has a 1-2 throw of about 14cm. How much do you reckon the shaft has been lengthened under the pivot point ?

So as i read, this will fit a wide Jap 5sp out of a starion??

If so, deffinately getting one for the pigma.

I'm in Brisbane ATM, When I get back, I'll remove it and take a few pics.

Correct. The Short shifter was designed for the US Starion which has the hydraulic KM132 gearbox(this is what mine is in).

There is 2 types of short shifters for a Starion box.
1. Is the Stedbani and 2. Is the MK1 as shown in the link.
I have both, and think the Stedbani one is heaps better. The Mookeeh one will come with a new gearstick and is still a nice bit of gear, but the Stedbani feels better to shift with. Both make a dramatic difference to the feel of your box (you will think it is another box)

do you have link for this so called Stedbani?

[brendon]

is the shifting any smoother or just quicker?


edit: looks like I should have just read the replies above

[www.18u]

You cannot buy the Stedbani ones anymore, however they come up on the sqc forums a bit. Best to look out for them there.

I assume the older jap box has the 3 bolts? 4 bolts for the longer extension housing?


If there is enough interest is it worth a group buy or too much hassle?
