Title: Can anyone recommend a taller aftermarket shifter?
Post by: beetletom on June 17, 2018, 13:49:37 pm
I have recaros upfront and my Berg shifter is a little short

Any ideas what a good alternative is?

Keep the berg. Longer arm or lower seats?  ;D

Haha!
Just had the frames done, but they are about the same height as stock seats

But have to lean right forward to change gear, and I’m about 6ft too

Was thinking about a bug tech shifter, but not many come up for sale?

How about the shifters Vintage Speed Taiwan makes. Has anyone tried those?

I have the "black mamba". Great shifter but i made a spacer so the ball sits 15 mm higher, gives me more space around the ball regarding the revers lock out handle.
I am 188 cm and have 911 seats and I can't complain about the reach.

I don't know the percentage, but it will be a lot more than that. Neutral to 1st is around 5cm.
