You could try a search, but Ferraris used a direct-to-gearbox shifter when this sort of thing was going on, and the GATED SHIFTER (for next time you ask, or possibly SEARCHOriginally posted by Dragonsi1
Hey i was wondering if anyone has thought or knows of a kit that so instead of a shifter boot, you have a pattern like Ferrari's do. So there is an individual notch and you can see which gear yor in, rather than sliding around and accidentally sometimes going into 4th instead of 2nd. I think this idea would be pretty cool
) was bolted directly onto the transmission instead of the coachwork. Also, gated shifters tend to use wee-skinny shifter levers: apparently one of the challenges to those trying to build a gate for DSMs has been that the gearchange lever is fatter than the distance between gears. i.e., when in gear, the space at the lever between 3rd and 5th is less than 3/4". Then there's the rattle problem- gated shifters are wonderful for creating a really irksome bzzzzzz as they use the gate for a sound board to amplify all the noise from the chassis, transmission and body. Oh, and it could come out like the Pantera, where shifting into second (European pattern) likely as not got you fourth.
) like I said its my first one I made, school starts in 7 days so i'm trying to hurry and think of something else to make so I can start it when I have shop, tell me what you think ....
.... getting new camera soon, sorry about the quality.
.. i am about tired of automatics alot of ppl want custom crap for there car 
.... aircraft aluminum for the shift gate (CNC milled, Bridgeport EZ-Track for engraving)- inside gate has rounded "fingers" and cornersas well, chamfered for extra detail.... and stainless steel for the shifter (CNC Lathe)all 1 piece threads and all, welded in .... topped of with a Greddy Counter Weight shift knob to make shifting more of a breeze....there goes the cheap part .... I will not lie to you when I say that shifting speed is still the same as without it, you don't have go up and the push over and then up again as you would think or as it looks.... slam it up and push over at the same time and it slips into the next gear like a glove the middle slot going horizontal gives it the perfect room and the vertical tracks are close together where it works extremely well... I did as fast shifting as I could on both and I couldn't tell any difference besides that I knew and could feel and know where it was going better.... try taking your shifter out in your car and pushing it straight diagonally, our cars weren't made to go diagnal like that....unless I'm missing something
....and if you made the diagonal slots like that when you put it down in the gear and its holding it over it would slide up the diagonal side....
I love it.....I say make me a kit and I will buy it from you I know what u mean about gated shifters...I have driven cars with them before and they work great Let me know if u have a few for sale other will be intrested
.... as for making more I'm looking to see if I can still but might not know for awhile possibly, I would really like to make alot more though as a kit (New shifter and Gate Pieces and possibly with the knob) although I want to make some more stuff.... maybe a new guage cluster for aftermarket guages (tach in the middle boost, temps, pressures in 60mm guages on the sides of the tach, id have to do some research on a layout I could make or at least make something like this) I'm planning on some other things also ......
