Has anybody used it or know anything about it?

Thanks

Haven't heard of anyone using anything other than the c's shifter which is discontinued. Looks like a good alternative mate!

 

[Krish]

Might give it a go. Looks like a decent price.

 

[pegliobaglio]

Yeah looks like a nice bit of kit too I might look at this too actually

 

[Krish]

Ordered it. 104 pounds inc delivery.
They've also got Nismo engine and gearbox mount set for 146 pounds - seems like a good deal also.

 

[pegliobaglio]

Yeah sounds a good price tbh mate
Let me know what you think of the shifter if its as good as it looks I will probably get one too!

 

[Krish]

Yeh mate. Will do. Hopefully it'll do the job.

 

[pegliobaglio]

Should have thought so mate, doubt a company like that would sell something that didn't ! Here's hoping!

 

[Krish]

This is what RHD have said to me after I've already ordered it
"the Uras Shifter you have ordered is a little bit misleading in title and description. The shifter is not a short shifter, but a solid shifter. The stroke between gears will not shorten compared to the OEM but the feeling will be much more solid."

Here's to hoping lol

 

[pegliobaglio]

hmm a little misleading lol why dont they advertise it as a solid shifter then???

 

[CMR]

They do on the site unless it has been changed since the order

 

[pegliobaglio]

Yeah they must have changed it as it said before it reduces shift length

 

[CMR]

Ahh fair enough

 

[Krish]

Yeh they've definitely changed the product description. Might still give it a go though

 

[pegliobaglio]

Yeah I'm tempted too myself looks nice!

 

[Krish]

It's arrived from RHD. Will fit tonight. I've never removed the shifter before. I take it I can do it from the inside and not from underneath?

You do it inside the car.

You'll need circlip pliers.

 

[Krish]

Perfect. Cheers mate.

 

[Cap'n Crash]

There's one bit where its a bit confusing, but what you need to do is actually cut the rubber gaiter then you be able to get at the circlip.

 

[Krish]

Nice one lad. Will let you know how I get on. Apparently this thing makes a quite a difference!
