Satchshift...

[Rossp]

I had (to my knowledge) the first BE kit from Sandy. It transforms the selection process completely. However, it IS less forgiving on the synchro's I think than the standard (even "quickshift) setups. I've just come back from the 'ring last month with a buggered 3rd gear synchro - almost positive this damage was down to being way down on power and me smashing it into every gear aggressively. I think the standard linkage may have been more forgiving, but I'd still rather have this. I just need to learn to be more sympathetic and let the car/boost do the work.

End result? My fault because of wank driving. Damage emphasized by uprated components being less forgiving.

I think Stu (slammed106) had the first one outside of race cars, since my understanding is, that it was after talking to him that they became commercial.

does he not have a TU gearbox

The trick with any quickshift or replacement gearlever is not to rush the gearchange. You can slam cars into gear and significantly shorten the lifespan of the mechanisms.

We have just received another batch of these
Both the Satchshift for BE gearbox conversions;
and the Satchshift for standard TU gearbox

Next working day delivery!

Ah really? I thought we might be the first as we had to get Colin to modify one of the linkages to fit - I seem to remember he said at the time it was the first time he'd sold one - perhaps the first "commercial" kit!

Either way, the kit is outstanding - it's my poor driving that's done the damage.
