Fitting a quick shift gear stick to your car is a quick
and easy modification that; doing so really improves
the feel and speed of gear changes due to the
shorter and more direct throw. Up until now the only
complete quick shifts on the market have all
contained steel spherical bearings. Whilst these are
perfect for competition use at certain RPMs the steel
bearings will start to vibrate and rattle which can be painful on long
journeys.
To solve this vibration problem whilst retaining the positive and direct gear change, a complete
redesign of the quick shift was needed to replace the steel bearings with a high vibration
dampening nylon spherical bearing.
This quick shift should be used in conjunction with an original Ford type plastic gear selector
saddle rather than the competition phosphor bronze type.
Other features include:

• High quality item manufactured in the UK
  • CNC machined from high carbon steel and HE30 aluminium
  • Zinc plated and hard anodized
    Order as part number QS23 at £137.50 inc. VAT.
