Fitting a quick shift gear stick to your car is a quick and easy modification that really improves the feel and speed of gear changes due to the shorter and more direct throw. Up until now the only quick shifts on the market have all had steel spherical bearings that at certain RPM’s will start to vibrate and rattle which can be torturous on long journeys.
To solve this vibration problem but still retain the positive and direct gear change a complete redesign of the quick shift was required to replace the steel bearing with a high vibration dampening nylon spherical bearing.
Please note this bearing cannot be bought separately and it will not fit into any standard quick shift housing.
Available exclusively from Retroford.
This quick shift should be used in conjunction with an original Ford type plastic gear selector saddle and not the phosphor bronze type.
Features high vibration dampening nylon spherical bearing that helps to reduce noise and vibration from the gearstick
