Re: Shift Gate!!!
Nice, I was searching shift gate so I couldn't find it. Is that the same one rekognize has?

Re: Shift Gate!!!
Ya it's the one I have but it needs a bit of modding to fit

Re: Shift Gate!!!
+1... too much space in the middle, kinda defeats the purpose and cool factor.shameem wrote:Looks like batman is happy to see you
But seriously good work - if someone makes it with a narrower slit in the middle it will be even more awesome...
i nominate fowljesse to spearhead a redesign and production.

Re: Shift Gate!!!
This is an awesome idea, but will look kinda silly with the stock shifter and shift knob. If a new one is to be made, it should work some short shifters as well (dont know if the angle is off) Is there any way we could "Dress up" the shifter itself? A scratched black metal rod isn't attractive to me! I want it to look pretty If this gets rolling, I will have to get a new shift knob! Maybe something simple like this: http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl= ... l%26sa%3DN" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Re: Shift Gate!!!
The angle isn't the same between stock and short shifters.. Jesse how about you make us a new one, I'll send you mine as it's already modded to fit; just make the slits narrower

Re: Shift Gate!!!
I'll see what I can drum up, as far as the place, and/ or tools neccessary.. I can do it, but would need to invest in tools.
Hmmmmm.. Carbon fiber, sheet Aluminum, Burled Walnut, Smoked Lexan to be lit from underneath... Yeah! I'm inspired.
I'll do it!
I'm going into a medical research study on the 7th, and will be in there for 15 days. before and after, is the holidays, but I will start making these just after X-mas

Re: Shift Gate!!!
Will this affect shifting time in a negative way if we make the fingers longer?

Re: Shift Gate!!!
Not if they're where the shifter goes. It will be difficult to get it exactly right, but really cool when done.
Rekognize, if you send me yours, I'll make them, but not until after X-mas

Re: Shift Gate!!!
This will be a B to make. Lots of cardboard prototypes. The shifter isn't so exact like the gate displays... It wiggles in all gears.... and you often want the shortest path to the next gear, not 90º turns in the motion...
Good luck.
