I made my own shift....



To reduce the effect of a weighted lever working on the shifter shaft, I used hollow tubing, and a light weight ****.

This was the first test position (and length).......



And the final product



+1 on the Labriola clutch setup.....

 

I've thought about this foot clutch for a while, and I have a question. Is there any rubbing or binding when using the foot clutch? I ask this because after looking at the close-up pics it seems like that when you use the clutch you're pulling downward on the cable possibly rubbing the cable on the edge. It seems like it wouldn't pull the cable in a straight line, is that a problem at all?

 

If setup correctly there shouldn't be any rubbing on the side of the cable. Here's a pic of the setup I made this winter. These pics are from mock up, it's since been pc'd black, and that aluminum plate behind it is trimmed and finished, but you get the basic idea. No issues with rubbing so far, and because the cable end is about the same height as where it enters the trans, the cable is pretty much constantly lubed with tranny fluid!

 

I really like this option the more I read about it, I guess its just one of those mods that gets the thought in motion

 

Here are some pics of my LaBriola jockey shift. I was on the fence about doing this mod. But like everyone else who goes with this mod, I'm having a ball riding like this.

 

please explain the bottlecap. That is not the first one I have seen, just curious as to how it is attached, etc.....

 

Sure, It's actually a trick I learned on this forum. It's ther to cover the hole that's left when you remove the clutch mount. Some people use silicone to glue it on. I used double sided body molding tape. You just have to layer the tape until it sticks out past the bottle caps edge.

 

Does the kit come with the new mirror mount? If not, where did you get that one?

Thanks!

 

Those look like the mirror mounts I'm using, picked them up on eBay pretty cheap.
