Group buy for a transmission mounted bell crank shifter. Shifter is machined from 6061-T6 aluminum with a double sealed ball bearing for smooth crank motion.
Even if you already expressed interest in the feeler thread, please reiterate your direct interest in this group buy thread. If you wish to be included but only after a certain number of buyers are in, please indicate as such (for example, you'd like to be in, but only if we reach the 10 participant price level).
Thanks!
Works with:
Subaru 5 Speed transmission
Plastic FFR shifter
Metal FFR shifter
MR2 Shifter
Not compatible with:
6 Speed transmission
VCP Shifter
What it does:
Allows you to reduce the number of bends in the shifter for smoother and more direct feel
When used with an MR2 shifter the cable length can be reduced 7 feet (shorter length cables not supplied as part of kit)
The arm mounted to the input shaft is mounted further inboard for improved clearance with the rear bumper (almost 1" of the shaft would actually be cut off if desired)
Looks pretty fancy. In an open rear bumper setup it is visible from the outside.

Exploded view. Hopefully this image shows how much work and how many pieces are put together to make this setup:
