BEC quickshift

These look great value on ebay, nothing to do with me, but I had a quickshift on my last MK Indy BEC, it made a big difference for rapid up changes, if I recall mine cost around £400, so these look a good locost option, and if you check out his other items you could get it a few quid cheaper

I do like the look and sound of these!

But do they add extra stress to the clutch and transmission?

I read a report written by a guy from Hewland gearboxes last year that suggested these placed far less stress on a gearbox than manual transmission.

Can't remember where it was now, I don't think it was on here.

Does this make it clutchless up and downshifts or just up?

If you use a Power Commander 111USB all you need is a Microswitch ( about £2.50 ) and download the software from the Power Commander site.

Micro s/w fitted to an MK Indy.

I dont believe the kill s/w utility software is on the downloads page it was hidden away somewhere, and seems to have been moved, there is several links in previous posts on this site but all seem to be dead.
