cavalier internal shifter

[Tim]

what are the benefits of fitting the cav shifter. a mate is breaking one and says i can help myself to bits.

its a 1.8 ls. any other stuff i should get from it??

[Iain]

Feels a bit nicer than the Nova one. Clears up space under the car for exhaust. If you can get a good one (or bodge it slightly if its not) it'll reduce a bit of play in the stick which feels awesome with a rosejointed linkage. Can mount it a bit higher up and where ever you want for your driving position.

[Adam]

Keep the standard nova shifter and rosejoint the linkage.
Cav shifter alone is not worth the effort.

[Tim]

im planning to rose joint it anyway. am i just making work for myself??

[Adam]

Yeah IMO.

When Iain had the std nova shifter but with a RJ linkage it felt miles more positive than standard, you could actually "feel" the gears if you get me.

[Paul]

Cav shifter is a complete waste of time unless you need th space for the exhaust (ie 3" on a big spec LET) IMO

[Iain]

Oh another benefit is it looks mega cool when you peer in through the window.
