Default Quick shift rs2000?

As above does anybody know if there is such a thing and where to get one from.

I am talking about a MK5 Escort item with the rod change gear linkages and MTX75 gearbox.

I cant seem to find one anywhere.

Has anybody made their own?

Thanks

I think AL Developments is probably just a guy that had a few made? I don't think they are a 'proper' company, I may be wrong.

I'll make sure I turn my phone off for the next couple of days then.

He doesn't come on here, I posted picture of his car on here

He still produces the linkages and if you send your linkage to his he will modify it for a good price

email above

If i'm right, the RS2000 box is actually an MTX75 - if you're tempted (and i know i was) - there's a kit somewhere in Europe that converts the H pattern gearstick to a sequential shifter setup. Doesn't mash the synchros and works in exactly the same way as a proper sequential setup!

Might be of interest to you

Just like the Ikeya Formula Sequential Shifter that are used on the Evo's?

Don't they only work with cable shifters? The RS2000 ones are rod linkage arn't they?

Thanks Will.

I would consider changing the box to cable if this is a possibility!

I spoke to Andrew today and he said he would do you a good deal on a linkage seeing as your car is in PF mag almost every month

I don't think you can do better than free !!
