Cant help with the shifter......

But car looks great!

There are a few types,JCL in the US makes a really sweet but expensive one.Here is the one from MSE/RLR..(click chassis parts-mounting hardware)

Thanks, I have send a mail to RLR, I hope that they have one in stock.

Hey Sven,

Good luck on getting the car ready!!

Awesome looking car! Speak to Peter Englezos at Cogbox - he runs one in his Fiat and would probably be able to talk through set-up too. Bernard Newbury also runs one I think. :)

Bernie, Travis and Dave Dinning all run them ;D

Me too, if I can ever get the clutch sorted!!!! :) Anyone got instructions for a J&G floater clutch in a Pauter case with a t2 box  ???

Hi Joe G,what kind of instruktions are you looking for?

I got mine direct from MSE.

Any one there can tell how it works ?
yes I know 1-2-3-4 but what about 4--3 or 4-2 and how will it always go to first not 3rd ?
maybe a stupid question but I will like to know  ;)

It's a drag shifter 1-2-3-4-neutral, cool down,fill up,1-2-3-4, repeat until broken ;D

for 1st squeeze the trigger and push forward
for 2nd pull the shifter backwards
for 3rd push the shifter forwards
for 4th pull the shifter backwards
to go from 4th to 3rd push the leaver forwards
to go from 3rd to 2nd squeeze the trigger and pull the shifter backwards
and from 2nd to 1st squeeze the trigger and push the shifter forwards


you have to bear in mind that the shifters change gear so fast that you have to use Pro rings in the box. Peter found this out on his own car.

Thanks

My friend Bang have bought a very fine shifter from a german company, http://www.cae-racing.de/. 
I know, it's a H pattern shifter ;)
Fast delivery and super service.

and it is so nice to use, i have testet it many times now and have not misssed a gear yet. i know the vertigate shifter is nice to  but there is alot of work to bu if you want to fit it on a standart pan..

How does it works? I use a 091 bus box with the shifting rod mounted above the chassis .

i run with a bus gear aswell and use the original shift rod inside the pan. you just have to make a small bracket to mount the shifter on.. can post you pictures of mine if you want.

With vertigate,instead of using the H pattern to select gears,you have one rod directly on each gear.
