Was wondering who was using a vertigate shifter, are you happy with it & who sells them??
Cheers,

there great.
berg shifter shifts in 0.4 of a sec and now i shift in 0.2 with the MSE shifter. once you get used to it cant imagine using anything else. its even good on the street.
You can buy the MSE directly from the guy that makes it.
His name is Bill Gundrum,

Martin, how does it work on the street, with downshifting etc? I wanted to run one but a few people said you can't really downshift with them?

No revers leaver,you just push the button on the top of the shifter,the bottom slot is revers.

Well, not in car like Tekkens.. if you think the shifter is a work of art you should see the rest of the car
