Good stuff bud. Very interested in this

[mc36155]

Hello, okay so mike from mtec has let me know that the fix will consist of four peices. Two of these are two halfs of an aluminium replacement pivot ball, another is a new billet aluminium arm, and the last is a new pin that will be removable to allow eventual servicing if / when needed. The complexity increases the cost a bit and will be between $200-$220, he would need around 20 people to start this and it would take around 40 days to make all the pieces. If your interested put your names down. Hopefully he will post on here with some pictures shortly

I am definitely still interested, but would need to know what advantages this offers over the Buddyclub short shifter kit (£177 delivered). As the prices are similar once delivered and taxes paid etc.

fully understand, I have asked him to post on here as I imagine alot of people will want more explanation and they would rather that came from mtec

Also, I don't think this is a short shifter like the buddyclub, it is basically a service kit to reduce the play in the shifter to better than new oem levels. It maybe that this service kit could be used on the buddyclub kit but no promises

Great news. So just to confirm is this going to be a complete new shifter or just some sort of insert?

i think its going to be replacing a number of the bushings in the shifter for aluminium ones. you will have to take your shifter out and take it apart and replace the worn pats with the aluminum parts. im guessing it will be similar to his dc5 or rsx kits in that way... i dont have anything confirmed yet so thats just my guess

Isnt that basically the tegiwa kit or have I gone back in time?

Anyway, get some hybrid racing bushes, the nuts

Don't think so, and I have the hybrid bushes, made no difference because that isn't where the problem is.

Would have thought so

[Adrian EP3]

I was really interested but £150 seems rather steep to me, I'll wait for the details before making the decision. :shouldbeinteresting:

I would want to see pictures of what is included in the kit and how easily it can be fitted to be honest. When I look at mine most of the play is in the main ball (as in the white bit that the lever rotates/ moves in which is bottom middle of the main frame as you look at it installed).

Hi all!

Well I've been working on this piece and have to tell you it was a work in progress because it's a car that I do not own. The design will consist of 4 pieces. One is the pin that is holding the arm, 2 ball halves for the shifter, and the shift arm. I'll be posting up pictures and working on finalizing the design soon. One thing that I noticed that using a clip to hold the pin end is giving it a bit of play. I might remake a pin and put a nut on the end that will eliminate the play. This design and production is contingent that I have 20 orders to make this happen.

Currently I'm pretty happy with how it's working because the play is very minimal and still feels very stock. It should of came from the factory like this.

Here are pics for you guys!

This looks good to me still....
I am still in

[Dixy1987]

Looking at the pictures, am I right in saying that you can't use a short shifter with this?

Or does this also reduce the shift throw?

Actually that is a good call. I wouldn't like to lose the short-shifter....

And also, can it be put back to standard easily enough if required?

[mc36155]

Sorry, being slow, why would it prevent a short shifter?

[MTECIndustries]

This was actually used with a short shifter. The short shifter used was a neuspeed one. It worked great with it. Much more refined then oem but I found a week spot that I will address if I get the 20 people interested in this project.
