There's a German-made shortshift for the Jazz/Fit that reduces the shifter travel by 50%!

I'm thinking about ordering one.

If you do end up ordering it, let us know if it fits and how you like it.

 

I wish I understood german

 

Depending on your browser, I use Firefox, it's pretty easy to translate text on a page.

 

Seems inexpensive enough (when the 19% VAT is deducted) but will they export?

Lately, automotive stuff has been tough out of Europe, I got flat out denied on a set of European spec headlights for a Toyota Camry. They claimed that shipping would be too high, even tho I had my own shipper lined up in Holland.....

Never was a problem 15+ years ago when I was sending stuff back and forth frequently?

Let us know a price please!

 

dave you must order one and let us know how u get on, take one for the team!

 

I was thinking hard about ordering one until I sat down with pictures and measurements. From reading the translated text, they claimed up to a 50% throw reduction. So, I took some measurements and extrapolated some results against Skunk2's diagrams. The tip of the Skunk2 adapter extends farther from the rotational axis of the shifter than the German shifter does. So, the Skunk2 should have a shorter throw than the German example.

Let me know if my logic seems reasonable.

 

This seems right, but I am only on beer #2 of the evening.....

Shipping on the Skunk unit would be cheaper for sure.

Hmm, David Brown, any relation to the UK tractor company/Aston Martin?

 

how much does this come out to in US dollars? Also, haven't seen too may pics of shifters, does the OEM shifter have two notches that stick out?? odd

 

Not 100% sure on the price conversion but it looks like the shipped price should be around $100.

Here's a pic of the german shifter beside the oem shifter

 

cool thanks for that picture. The ball is definately higher, so the throw should be shortened. Didn't realize the OEM shifter had a plastic ball. Looks like a quality shifter..

 

ja everyzeeng zhat ees made in deutschland is very pure

pure people meants pure qualitat jaaaaa


o.O hehe I had to
