Default Quick Shift

Gonna put a quick shift in the esc which is the best to go for?

Heard bad reports on the B&M......... Surely this will be as good as any?!...

i have a B&M shifter..i think it works farely nicely...i dont know what should be the problem though ..i had a little rattling noise from it in the beginning...but it went away..fitting is very easy...and the quality of the actuall gear shifter is smoooth.nice chunk of nice machined alloy!!
i dont know if there are shifters that are even shorter leverage.that might be the negative side of the b&m...if they are actually longer movement than the other makes....

i used to have a knuckle on one of mine,the old one was incredibly hard to get off the shaft,if you fit the b&m type then it comes as the full unit so you dont have to mess with splitting it,id describe mine as very notchy after fitting

I was told it mullers your box........ As the MT75 has a terrible syncro set up, adding the quick shift allows you to change gear quicker than the box can!!

Ask Mike R for a more detailed explaination.

Ps they shift quick enough anyway!

I've got a B&M on mine, Ok i only fitted it cos it looks but i dont have any problems with it. I found it got rid of the standard sloppyness out of the change and now it feels more like the T5 in my old saff.....
