Wanted: Standard Type E Gearshift Complete

Postby SportsSedanSteve » Fri Apr 12, 2013 11:59 am

Has anyone got a complete standard gearshift sitting around. Need to get hold of one for some spare bits to fix my current one.

Steve I'm in New York but if you get onto Gary Pitt he'll be able to help you as he can get into my stuff.
Forget using the standard type shifters as they're too fragile and use a spherical jointed Quaife shifter and yes tell there is one there.
I'll send you his details

Is the Quaife shifter a quickshift? I tried one years ago and it made it difficult to change between 2nd/3rd. Shortened the throw down quite a bit as you would expect but with the linkage set-up that I have to use it also reduced the "feel" for the gates.
I really only need the spring, the short rubber boot and the plastic "cup" to get mine working.

Can't justify paying that price for the few bits i need. Might send a message and see if they'll haggle.

Yikes, $250 is some serious money, although arguably better value than this similarly price windscreen washer bottle:

Hell, that would be like catnip for some well off RS Owners member
