New D.F. Goblin Shifter Review

[socaljeff3798]

I finished the installation of the D.F. Goblin Shifter today. It was very straight forward. The adjustment was super simple just set everything to Neutral Shifter and transmission. Adjust the ball links and your done!
I drove it about 50 miles hard up shifts and down shifts everything worked perfectly!! It now feels like a a shifter in a race car! No missed shifts, no grinding, very precise and smooth I would give it a 10 out of 10!
I love how neat and clean it looks. Very nice parts.
You will have to check with Adam to see when they will be shipping.
Sorry for the washed out pictures. I had to have the screen replaced on my phone and now I have a camera problem it seems.

Were you running a stock shifter before?

 

[socaljeff3798]

Yes...

I like the cables are run through the tunnel. Custom fabbing or by design from DF?

 

[socaljeff3798]

It all come from df

 

[Desert Sasqwatch]

Nice! The cables in the tunnel makes for a very clean look and help accommodate the parking brake install.

Did you have the parking brake before? And if so, will the spacers that are used still be needed?

 

[socaljeff3798]

I have not installed the parking brake yet I don't think spacers are needed

Who has the group buy shifter upgrade that plans on trying the new DF shifter?

I have the complete group buy shifter, but never installed it.
I just ordered the DF one.
If anyone wants the Group buy one, let me know.

 

[Gtstorey]

No, you have to install both so I can know if the DF is worth upgrading to.

I have both. I'll let you know unless somebody gets back to you sooner.

I haven't driven it with the new shifter yet. But just setting in it and playing the new DF shifter is a lot better. About half of the effort needed for the side to side movement. The for and aft movement is about the same, but like was said in the other thread it feels like the shifter is on the transmission, not using cables.. Very nice upgrade...

 

[Gtstorey]

I'll be interested in how good it is at finding 5th. Mine shifts great except I have to pay attention when shifting to 5th.

 

[95Blitz]

Didn't have a problem with 5th.

 

[Gtstorey]

I've looked all over the forum and the DF store and can't find the price anywhere. How much is the upgrade?

$250

 

[Gtstorey]

$250

Reasonable cost.

 

[95Blitz]

New report... Just went around the block 5th isn't that easy. But I might need to adjust the cables...

 

[Gtstorey]

It may have already been discussed, but does it have a positive stop to the right in line with 5th? That is my biggest problem now, overshooting the slot.
