EIP quick shift...

[J@mes]

i fitted my EIP street quick shift today!

was a right nightmare trying to get the OE shifter off... took about 1hour to get it off!

Mr. Hammer did it in the end!

the shift now is sooo much better! far more positive!

worth the £107 price tag! (so if ur thinking baout doing it, DO IT!)

[CupraSteve]

[gazjones]

[The MoffMeister]

depends on the type of fitting gaz two types to choose from! just so could abuse this thread, hey james!
been wanting to get one myself but with my driving would it matter!! hah

 

[gazjones]

no you would prob break gear box by pulling stick to far back lol!

Yep right up there in the VFM stakes with the dog bone engine mount in my humble opinion.

Be careful with the EIP (infact any short shifter) when driving quickly and down shifting, remember there is no limiter in the world that would stop you trying to selelct say 2nd instead of 4th then over revving the engine......all i'm saying is be carefull till you are used to the throw......we don;t want any expensive accidents .

i actually thought of that when i first down shifted from 6th to 5th and thought i better tell my dad and bro!!! lol

been thinking abouta short shifter for a while.. as short shifters go.. thats a sexy bit of kit...

soo your saying its easier to put it in the wrong gear with it fitted?

very good shifters these - come in 2 varieties - street and competition.... i think the competition on is a shorter throw than the street, but IMO the street is perfect - any shorter and it'd be impossible to find the right gears.

I have the OEM silver one - looking at it you wouldnt even know it was different to standard. Stealthy mod

Any idiot can shove it in the wrong gear with the std gearbox..........I know it's happened many a time to SCn users.....some with terminal results.

If you are used to the std gearbox and change it to the short shifter you just need to engage the grey matter when down shifting......if you are driving on auto-pilot and not thinking.....or say having a tussle with another car and are a bit hot headed it "could" happen.

Then again I could get six numbers on the lottery next saturday

its something ive been thinking about for a while,

i dunno about everyone elses, but with my LC 1st gear is somewhere in the dash and 6th gear is somewhere in the boot?! lol

two cupra owners were amazed yesterday at my shift... they couldnt believe how short it was!


and im certainly enjoying it more the more i drive!

 

[Mitchy]

I actually think it makes the shift between 1st and 2nd far more notchy!

I love the feel of the short shift and all other gears and changes are good apart from 1-2!

James try shifting from 1st-2nd in race mode.
