Shift Assembly

[asian312]

I was curious if anyone could compare an Evo 4, 5, 6, 8, or 9 shift assembly to what the 1G and 2G has. By this I mean the way the arms on the shifter moves when in 1,2,3,4,5,Rev. The reasoning behind this bizzare question is this product:

It does not convert a DSM tranny into a true sequential shift setup, but replaces the H-gate pattern to a vertical gate. While you still have to use the clutch it does eliminate a mishift from say 3rd to 2nd when you wanted 4th. If the arm movements are the same and the throws are the same then adapting one of these to a DSM should be a cakewalk. Any thoughts or comments?

I like where your head's at, man.

I'd have to imagine that it backshifts sequentially also, hopefully. (Ok, I just watched the video, it downshifts.)

At $817.00 usd, that's more than the bluebook on my car.

Better still, how similar is a CJ4A Mirage? Available in RH or LH drive versions. Go to product information, click sequential shifter, scroll down, and click the Mirage prompt.

I'll look into that. Didn't see that at the bottem. They way I see it with potentially $5K plus in the engine and tranny what's another $817 as insurance =)
