What with House,s thread about his shifter ,before I buy a new quaife one has anybody fitted a cable shifter to an F13 box ,if so what bits do I need and has anybody got some pics of the turret and how the cables are routed through the bulkhead ?
Cable shifter

You seen the CAE cable shift kits they do for Nova's?
look a nice piece but pricey!
Yes I have seen them ,think I would rather put the money towards a proper sequential tbhOriginally Posted by MARTIN KELSON
Vectra c 1.8 petrol shifter, cables and selector. Cost about £15. Had it fitted to my f13 and now my f20.
Great thanks ,have you any pics
I've had an vauxhall cable shifter and now have the CAE shifter. the vauxhall cable shifter is ok, but I doubt its an improvement over your quaife shifter.. I haven't drivin with the CAE shifter but it looks real nice and solid!
Can a f28 be converted?
my project thread
Im running the Vectra cable shift system in mine albeit on an F20, but the F13 uses the same selector.
Worked fine for a while but over time the weaknesses were exploited as I tend to drive the rallycar hard at times..
It now runs a custom "lift" mounting bracket with cable bulkheads welded to this and a modified 6 speed Astra H M32 cable shift bit in the car to allow it to take rosejointed ended cables
Standard gearbox selector from a Vectra C 1.8 (F17 box) although the cable end balls are replaced with threaded bar to allow the rosejoints to be bolted on (had an issue with them popping off)
Modified bracket on the gearbox side to get the cable length correct
Custom length control cables with M6 threaded ends to take rosejoints to stop the popping off issue and make the change more precise.
One thing to bear in mind is that its very direct and Im finding that Im giving the synchros a hard time.
Should be photos in my build thread..
Paul..
Sadly not the F28 because the selector turret that bolts onto the top of the gearbox is only interchangable with F23 & below
The shifter won't really change how the synchros get abused. They are just a poor design for 3/4 but quaife use the same ones in 1/2 too
