Title: Shift Coupler (homemade) Post by: Eddie DVK on September 20, 2013, 08:43:44 am Hi.
I think I am kind off a rough shifter :( already broke a rubber one and now also the urethane ones seem to fail. Saw some alu shift couplers on the samba (and at Richies site), so thought what the ... I will try to make one myself as I have a small milling machine of my own these days. And after some practice..

Haven t tried it yet. Regards Edgar Title: Re: Shift Coupler (homemade) Post by: NoBars on September 20, 2013, 11:10:48 am That's why I made the alloy ones that are on the samba. The urethane ones failed. It took me a while to find out why my car didn't go into 2nd under hard shifts.
Nice job. Title: Re: Shift Coupler (homemade) Post by: stevenery on September 20, 2013, 20:23:05 pm Be interested to know how much of a difference this makes as just fitted a 901 gearbox and there seems to be a lot of play in the linkage

I live in Europe so including postage and taxes it was a little bit to expensive for my taste.
