Short shifters on T56

Hi guys, does any one know anything about the different short shifters for the T56. I have heard that some of them load up the gears and cause breakage. I have read that some have shift stoppers to you can't over shift, but does that make them safe? Are they easy to set the stoppers or do they come per set?
Any info would be greatfully excepted

Mate,

 

Been using the GMM Rip Shift for 50,000 + KM has had a fair work out at times, I have also run a homemade taller shifter stick to really speed things up.

 

Has lock out bolts as stoppers.

 

Very good bit of gear, excellent bang for your buck.

Night and day between the two shifter systems.

Some aftermarket systems just work on the current T56 shifter mechanics, the Rip Shift re engineers the whole set up.

Footnote I fitted it myself and I’m no mechanic.

I did have the luxury of a hoist.

Not technical but at times a bastard of a job. Just getting to some of the bolts etc.

Thanks that's great to know.

Did you have to set the lock out bolts, or do they come pre set?

If you need to set, is it difficult? Can you get it wrong.

I'm all for having a go at most thinks, except when the only way to find out I got it wrong is to break the box.

 

Thanks again

All straight forward. Both instillation and set up are covered with fairly detailed instructions. And if you get really stumped just call the shop and they will walk you through it.

It is a very good system so good in fact if my memory serves me right GMM Patented the system. As said it re engineers the shifter set up. A very well made unit that turns the T56 from a feeling of pulling a broom handle through wet cement to a close as I will ever afford Hollinger 6 speed H pattern box.

As I have said above I have belted the shit out of mine and it still operates the same as day one.

It’s also one of the few mods you can/will do that is constantly being used regardless of how hard you are going and you feel the big difference every time you change a gear.

You sold me. Cheers
