    Cable shifter experiences.

    Hello!

    I'm now working to get my 01E dog-box ready so i'm looking in to whats the best way for a shifter. I'm now using a B5 S4 shift mechanism what works perfectly now on street but i noticed its not perfect on fast shifting. Especially from 2e to 3e.

    I'm sure i will get it fine after some tweaking but i'm curious to know if some one on here has experience with a cable shifter. I'm looking for a very precise and sharp shift. Like the click-clack you get in cars like the honda S2000.

    Here is a kit i saw on the internet. Somebody how has experience with something like that?

    I think SpeedingG60 and Terrybullwon on the forum have used these type of sequential shift towers

      this is just a cable shift setup, i have not used it but i would try it. i was waiting and waiting for that piece to come out when these pix first started circulating.

      i HAVE used (and still have it but am not using it anymore) a sequential shift setup. it is fast and precise.

      i AM making my own shifter, as i only drag race with the car so it only has to shift fast three times forward.

      here is the seq shift setup i have.



      and this is the shifter i am building for myself. it is an inline setup, no moving over to the right for the 3-4 gate. forward/back/forward/back done.

        Your seq shift setup is from sqs right? It's a nice piece of kit and perfect for a dog-box. But its to expensive for my so i will just try to make a cable shifter.

        I looks like there is not a lot of experience fitting a cable shifter on 01E so i think i will give it a try this winter. Looks like there is some info available from the replica Ford GT40 which use 01E boxes. Also a lot off Volkswagen golf's running cable shifters.

          Sqs does not make it they are a reseller. It is made by SSSDrives.

          And there is a lot of info on cable setups out there. Look on a forum called Gt40s.com

            I use a cable system. You just make your own brackets to copy the OEM movements and off you go. Which dog set did you go for?
