short shift kit

**peter holst** · 23-04-09, 12:37

I have been looking all over the internet but I can?t find it any where.

Perhaps a kit from a Fiat coupe turbo, lancia delta integrale would fit?

Can anybody help?

I will soon, I promise (sorry wrinx) get a photo of the plates on my gear connection - have been promising it for ages but never got far enough. Give me a week or so.

Lancia Delta Integrale to my best knowledge has levers/rods system, Q4 - cables, but I think you know that...
So it's a bit different, but I you should be able to interchange them if needed. Need to cut some holes in front section of car to fit Delta rods/levers...
However I don't know where to get short shift for Delta Integrale either

Edit: here you go some pictures for Q4:

My Q4 has that exact same short shift kit. I did not realize that it was a commercial 'product'.

.. edit.. um, not I see why it looks so similar - its a picture from my car, when I first stripped out the interior....

I'll shoot someone here, grrrrrr.

It's less than a month I've change my gearshift cables and I was wandering if it is possible to mount the Integrale's levers/rod system - with or without the short shift kit. Did someone has already done this mod?

@mindbus
do you have more infos about? pictures?

@ Jimnielsen,
could you measure the dimensions of the additional parts?

Ill take some pictures of what need's to be cut off in the body to fit it... well that's my guess, cause I bought the body without engine and transmission but with those levers left in the car and bits cut off inside to fit it...
so don't know if it was really functioning in it but if it will help I'll take some pictures.. Ultimately, it should not be a major problem. If you have those levers/rods etc., some DIY work and it should fit...
edit: picture, shows how much the body was cutted

Hello,
I ordered a short shifter kit from Japan. It was a little difficult but a guy from my company dit it for me.
I ordered this one, http://item.rakuten.co.jp/ggshop/a155-ar4002/ or this site
http://www.flatout.jp/store/item/lis...=c&id=7&type=b
and it fits perfect, it needs some modifikation on the body but it take only 1/2h to fit. The price was 55€.

Regards Michael

PS. There are a lot of other interesting product on this japanese page

**wrinx** · 26-04-09, 09:16

Very interesting, wonder if we could organise a group buy with some of the V6 owners on 155.org???

Currently ?58/€65

**peter holst** · 26-04-09, 15:45

any one got an idea how to get into contact wiyh japan and place an order?

**Ditlev** · 27-04-09, 10:25

I'm interested in this modification too, if a group buy could be set up, since I don't know any japanese..

**Xti** · 27-04-09, 19:16

I also might be interested in.

Cristian

**Q4-Dave** · 28-04-09, 20:44

Count me in as well

**arjunior45** · 29-04-09, 07:24

I'm not. I do prefer the 'levers/rods system' mod and given the opportunity I'll go for it.
I find this system more reliable than the cables and I could use the 'short shift' from the Grales {for example}.

**peter holst** · 29-04-09, 11:07

when you have done it Nick I would like that too...

**arjunior45** · 29-04-09, 11:36

it will take me a while as it's almost a month I've just replace the broken cable of mine and there are too many things to do before that.
Mindbus, I believe is going to to this mod before me and I hope he will keep posting pictures of this mod.

no one is in a harry, not me at least. Just do not forget the picture when you'll do it.

**Steve Webb** · 03-05-09, 07:38

Just a thought, but instead of increasing the distance between where the cable joins the gear stick and its fulcrum, why not decrease this distance at the gearbox end? It will give the same effect of a shortened gear shift.
Then again there might not be room at the gearbox end of things.

**Q4-Dave** · 23-01-10, 01:19

Did you go through with a group buy on these?
never heard anything more...

I am still interested anyhow, someone speaks japanese?

**peter holst** · 23-01-10, 13:14

I will pay what ever the price - i want it

**Q4-Dave** · 23-01-10, 16:22

Peter where are you from?
I am planning to contact them tomorrow, hopefully they know english, its worth a try anyhow..
should I order one for you as well?
