Can you get one that works with the standard gear lever ? I am thinking about getting one, but don't really want to have a "boy racer" stick/gear knob.

 

boy racer

 

Don't bother they make little or no difference imo!

 

er no I want quickshift but no shiny knob (oooh errr missus).

 

yes u can rally design do them £39.50 plus vat also they shorten the mt's dredful throw worth having for that factor imo

 

so one says yes......... one says no .... erm any other offers as i want one too

 

Fair enough but like i said they are shite! Been there and done it and the only one that made even the slightest amount of difference was the B+M jobbie which comes with the lever etc...but that was negligable.

 

and mine has snapped B&M

 

Are the 2wd and 4wd boxes that much different in terms of throw ?

Nat's 2wd with quickshift is significantly shorter.

 

Yes there is a vast difference between the throw on a 2wd box to a 4x4 one! You will never get it like a 2wd regardless of quick shifts etc..

 

Sorry spadge, that comment was meant for pete, but you snuck your post in there, I should have quoted him

 

agree with spadge there 2wd is far nicer in std form without quickshift

 

Ah, ok, so that might just settle that then...

 

i cant fault my b&m quickshift, it is a massive improvement over standard, but a tw@t to fit when the gearbox is still in!!

 

Are you sure you didn't just convince yourself it was a massive improvement as you had just spent 150 odd quid and a day fitting it

 

no the other one was fooked, i had to take the ashtray out to get first gear!!

 

A lot of the time it is the bushes in the gear lever cradle thing that are fooked that leads to loads of play!

 

Got to agree with SPADGE on this one, Got a quickshift in my 4x4 and it made very little difference if any . I know for a fact if i ever bought another cossie with a standard box i would leave it as and wouldnt waste my money on one.

 

made my mind up then

 

And mine too - shame really, the 2wd shift is so much shorter, kinda fancied that for mine...
