[Fredward]

There are different ones available such as one from GMC Motorsport and Spoox Motorsport components.

Its not for an ecosse one but the theory should be the same.

[Fredward]

I'm still a bit confused with the different types, the units seem to be different.

This one here (http://www.griffiths-engineering.co.uk/) seems to be the same as the Ecosse one but cheaper. This probably who supplies Ecosse with the parts.

It look alright to me.

I've got a TAS quickshit (same as GMC sell) and it's awesome. The best thing about that one is that you replace the standard plastic ball in the shifting mechanism and that makes it feel so much better. No more floppy gear stick, just nice *click-clack* shifting. You don't get that with the ecosse item, that only makes the throw shorter.

[Fredward]

And did you have to bin the centre console Fred?

[s4xovts]

i fitted this one on saturday its pretty good for £23 from Griffiths Engineering:thumbup:

[PinguFurio]

i assume u buy the 106 part? do you need the gear linkage rod too?

[s4xovts]

yeh for 106 and thats all you need mate

[Fredward]

No I assume you use the standard linkage unless you wanna buy some rose-jointed ones which would be ideal..

[PinguFurio]

whats the difference mate?

[Fredward]

Ones made of stirdy metal and the standard part is all plastic and shoddy! I wouldn't bother converting unless you are really hammering your gearbox..

[Frevo]

And did you have to bin the centre console Fred?

Nope, you can keep it looking totally standard.
I'm going to bin it though.. that quickshift just looks too good to hide :D:

[PinguFurio]

ahhh i seee. change it, it is then... lol. thanks for your help fred?

[s4xovts]

I know, they look nice uncovered! I was just worried about the 'leccy window switches!

Tas style quickshift as already mentioned.
Basically alters the pivot point of the gear stick allow you too adjust the throw as long or as short as you want it.
Nice and crisp, although to get a very short throw I had to take the exhaust heat shields off as they were in the way.


Takes about 30 mins max to change over.

[S507DDL]

ordered mine it'll be here next week now we'll see if its as esay to install as you say it is.

[Ax_beefy]

Well easy to install!... I want one but can't be arsed to pay full wack! lol.... Changes are so much firmer with one fitted... makes the car feel like a newer motor
