Which shifter is this?

[empera]

so i got this off an n/a, seems to be a short throw, says S3 on the side, i think i've heard of this before. I just want to make sure i can use this on my turbo's tranny. i cant remember if they are interchangeable...the bottom of the shifter is longer then the stocker tho so i dunno. If you have any info on this please let me know...

thanks.

If it says S3 then it is the one suprasport sells. and it will fit a w58 or a r154

I've got the S3 and I LOVE it! BTW: the S3 is currently on sale over at SS. This is a GREAT time to get one.

Shifts are short and crisp - just a quick flick of the wrist and you are in the next gear.

 

[empera]

it doesnt quite look like it...mine has a rubber part to it, the one SS has a metal part...

Not sure why it won't shift, but take out that black bushing, you won't need it anymore with that shifter.

 

[Mr. Sinister]

This may sound stupid, but are you sure it's stuck and it's not because you didn't try to shift it hard enough?

 

[empera]

yes im sure.

 

[Mr. Sinister]

Try pulling up on the shifter and then try to shift. If it shifts, then the shifter is sliding down too far and catching on the lower set of pivot pins. I'm not sure how this shifter was designed, but the C's shifter come with two half-circle inserts that create a raised floor for the shifter to rest on. You pull out the black bushing at the bottom, drop the half-circle inserts in, put the black bushing on top of those, then put the shifter on top of them all.

 

[empera]

ah thats probably wat im missing...fuck, hehe now i hafta look for those inserts.

you want part numbers MC-10077 and MC-100778 if you are in need of the shifter seat and shifter socket. I ordered mine from them and shipping was very fast. Good luck.

 

[empera]

need those inserts first. dunno where i can or if i can get them.

 

[empera]

ok so i have 1 spacer/insert i need the other and i tried c's short shifter to see if i can order one, they said no.
here's wat i need.

How does this compare to the C's ?? Thanks.

 

[NashMan]

NM short throw shifter's are far cheeper and are shorter throw then c's or other that i have tried i even have video of befor and after

 

[KeithH]

The C's and the S3 (or whatever the official name is) are both works of art and are well worth the $.

If the S3 is still on sale over @ SupraSport it isn't much more than then nm shifter and you don't have to ship your shifter out in order to get one.

ps i pretty sure is has a shorter throw and feels much more race feel if you get what i mean
