Have a look at the Cable Gearshift I've installed in my van.

[Ian Hulley]

Why ?

Ian

[Louey]

The gear stick mechanism looks pretty funky - no more stirring porridge??

As Ian says, WHY??

[jamesc76]

Cool !! must have took some work to get it to work etc!

[Tontie]

I spend most days designing cable systems for Trucks & Buses, so am not a fan of linkages, plus my linkage was getting bad.
Light feel, small pattern, simple to install.

[T'Onion]

that looks ace mate well done

the answer Ian ? cos the man could

[Ian Hulley]

Aye, you're right.

[pocolow]

Ingenious...go on then how much and how long did it take to fit?? Mark

[macccityrocker]

Thats great, i want one.

[eatcustard]

I guess around £300

[Tontie]

Target price is infact £300, not sure if we are there yet.
First time fit, including removing old linkage system (never done before), lying on the floor with van raised 6" at each corner, 4 hours.
I guess a skilled man would be well under 2 hours.
Did work first time but had built it on a bench first onto a spare box, did guess the cable length!

[ricicles]

looks like a quality piece of kit. top work.

[ash1965]

I love it!

[syncrosimon]

That is fantastic, would be interested in buying one when available.

Will it work on 5 speeds and syncros, how does the gate handle reverse to prevent accidental engagements?

Simon.

[ThorAlex]

And can it be made to have 1st forewords and reverse backwards on a 5-speed? One day that stupid original shift pattern is going to get expensive! Only thing that would make me consider buying one, if i got rich some day. Looks like a nice peace of work anyways.
