Title: choose the good shifter Post by: speedwell on November 26, 2007, 17:05:48 pm here's a scan of vw greats report: how to choose the best shifter for your volkswagen ;D
I know that some among you will tell me speedwell will play with your old-craps things, anything is not worth a good berg shifter, but this is for the people who want an assembly like at the time ;) Title: Re: choose the good shifter Post by: speedwell on November 26, 2007, 17:07:31 pm ;)

(lids 2001, please no joke about jick getting one ;D ) :D :D :D as lids has stated on Monkiboys DDS shifter thread.........i had one about 10 years ago and hated it. it was hell on my false fingernails, and always had to go for the "jessica" manicure,which wasn't really my style, (the one with the blunt cut nails,) in order to speed shift properly. :-* :-* Title: Re: choose the good shifter Post by: Lids on November 26, 2007, 18:35:21 pm James lets be honest, when you lived in Deptford, you got your nails buffed!!!! ;D ;) :D

Frank Title: Re: choose the good shifter Post by: Zach Gomulka on November 27, 2007, 02:10:10 am Yeah, but the new Berg handle is oogly. --louis Like most things Berg, its a function over form deal. Just look at their linkage... or their IDA manifolds (yuck!). Title: Re: choose the good shifter Post by: louisb on November 27, 2007, 02:14:50 am Yeah, but the new Berg handle is oogly. --louis Like most things Berg, its a function over form deal. Just look at their linkage... or their IDA manifolds (yuck!). Yeah, but the older polished handles looked so much better than the squared off black things they come with now. And the shifter is one of the items you come into contact most in a VW. It has to feel right in your hand. --louis Title: Re: choose the good shifter Post by: Felix/DFL on November 27, 2007, 12:55:27 pm WoW what a nice scan !
Never heared of the MR Gasket shifter...It looks very "domestic" ;) Here is a german shifter, it was promoted via Auto Motor& Sport in the late 60`s (sorry for the poor quality) |
