I used the DF base plate that was welded to the tunnel cap, and the new RSX shifter came with an aluminum base.Is it just a matter of fabricating a different base?
Yeah, Ross and I both are set up with F35's.Awesome work! And is that with an F35 Ross?
Nuker-
That's some sweet work. I really appreciate that work you guys did. I will be building one for myself.Yeah, Ross and I both are set up with F35's.
I wonder how many of the 33 people watching the $91 shifter are from this forum.Thinking I might be jumping on the band wagon here. I'm finding these as cheap as $91.99 on ebay.
I could not find one with the K tuned markings.I'm likely being overly particular, but like the idea of having the version with the Ktuned markings.
DCMoney, any chance you have a version of that drawing with dimensions? I'm reverse engineering from the tunnel cover and not having high enough confidence with the numbers. I also notice the thing is slightly out of square, the 2 seemingly parallel sides aren't... I never ended up even removing the shifter assembly from the donor, so at this point the tunnel cover is all I have to measure from.If you guys (Ross or JSATX or anyone else doing a RSX shifter) want a base that retains the stock mounting location let me know. Happy to make them to where you want the RSX shifter to bolt into at. Attached a PDF of the base I made, if you wanted to mock a base up. Print 1:1 on 8.5x11 it should be accurate. DXF linked below, you can modify as needed and send it to me and I'd be happy to make it for you, or you can send it out.
M10x1.5For those with the ktuned shifter box, do you know what the thread on the shifter arm is? I've looked around online a bit and coming up short.
Man, I really want to do this, my stock shifter looks like it has been through a blender and felt pretty loose when I drove it.Still think this is the best upgrade anyone with a manual could do.
Please report back. At the rate your build thread progressed, I expect an installed and tested report in about 45 minutesThis unit just arrived today! Found it on eBay. It's about $60 more than the RSX shifter but it has the ball on the bottom of the pivot point so I'm hoping that it's substantially easier to make it work with the shift linkage already in the car.
