Gear change

Hi All,

I now have my engine cradle mounted and engine in.

Need to sort out a gear change kit.

I bought a modified lever to go onto the engine.

I have looked at cable kits that come with a gear knob as such but they are coming in at £180+vat which I think is a bit expensive for what it is unless I'm missing something.

My car - Westfield
Engine - ZX9

Thanks

you need something like this I believe:

VW BUG BUGGY MORSE THROTTLE CABLE 9 FT BULK HEAD STYLE PUSH PULL CABLE

a push/pull cable (morse/teleflex etc)

then if you want a 'stick shift', just a tube with a pivot, knob on the top and the cable bolted below the pivot with a rose joint on it

I think....

It was this kit I was looking at.

But not from MK.

Would I be able to shorten that longer cable?

No you can't shorten the cables yourself.

The cable I Got in the MK kit was way to long for my R1 install

Cheers, think I will get SKC to fit a kit when the car is down for the loom to be fitted.
