Best shifter? Vintage Speed...
Hmm! Opinions vary  Roll Eyes Smiley

 Roll Eyes

The reason is rather simple, the Bug Tech is too fast and too precise for a old fart like me and my syncro`d gearbox. I can`t move my clutch foot fast enough. I still consider the Bug Tech to be light years ahead.

Beetletom a bit naughty putting this back on eBay advertised as a berg shifter when everyone has confirmed that it's a fake! The only people that want/know what a berg shifter is is us - don't con us, get your money back from the guy you bought it from.
If you already have then tell eBay this joker is selling a fake.

Oops 😂 It isn't me selling the item. Get your facts right before accusing Wink

I have infact got my money back though  Cool

I'm on the hunt for another berg, but my new(old!) bug has a vintage speed shifter, which is absolutely perfect!
