Has anyone fitted one of Rally design's type nine quickshifts. There seems to be three kits available. "Competition",
"Quiet", and a full Competition lever.
From the photos on the website, I cant figure out what the bits and bobs do. I know the object of the exercise is to raise the lever pivot point.. but
what's the lever "extension" for? and why no extension with the "quiet" kit??

It's just at £11 for the cheaper kit option, I thought it wasn't worth bodging up my present lever, with
the risk of knackering it completely. 
If you look at my website you'll see how I combined Dave Andrews' 'quickshift' with my design for a gear-lever extender to move
the stick 5 or 6 inches further back.
No detailed drawings, but not too hard to work out. Several people on this forum have successfully made a copy.
If you don't need the extension (ooer, missus!) then I can vouch for Dave Andrews' modification - it really does work. You might like to
try it on a stick from the scrappy though - if you're successful with the mod on the scrappy stick, then you can sell the original one - they
have value, these days.
BTW: Don't try to shift a type 9 box too fast - they don't like it and may wear out prematurely if you're too harsh.

Hi Andy,
I have done the locost mod to reduce the travel of the lever when I changed my dash,works well.Just less movement and a bit stiffer.
I used the Dave Andrews locost method - works a treat
me too, i know quite a few which have done it without problems,

The biggest benefit is that it'll stop you cracking your knuckles on the dash!
It's not a matter of beating the synchro though - too-fast gearchanges done too often can result in broken baulk rings.

I get a bit of a bang changing up quickly from 2nd to 3rd I think, usually when changing at 7000rpm. I
dont think the standard gearbox likes that treatment, so the plan is to change it for an uprated BGH or similar, when it expires.
I got my quickshift kit from Mac#1. Your welcome to try it if you want. No idea how it compares to standard - i fitted it when building so nowt to compare to.
