sweet. i hope its less than $400. but if it turns out that the rip shift is as good as the aussie say it is, then maybe i will have to anti up for one.GMH GTO said:I heard from some where that Gavana is gonna sell the ripshift here very soon? any word on pricing and availabilty date jim?
yes, you are correct. check out the pic at the end of the threadgto_in_nc said:I believe we learned a while back that the shaft attached in an offset fashion and that it could be atached to offset to the left or to the right.
I've slept since then but I'm pretty sure I even remember seeing pictures...
It took me about 2hrs to fit on my own and only using a trolly jack and axle stands.drburns said:I found that thread too. That's makes the ripshifter well worth it then. Can't wait to get my hands on one of them. I just hope it's not as difficult to install as the pics on the website make it out to be.
there was a thread here a while back showing how to partially pull up the trim around the shifter but it was just pulling the back end up and leaving the front part attached. how did you detach the front of the trim?uk hsv said:It took me about 2hrs to fit on my own and only using a trolly jack and axle stands.
The main thing to remember is to set the nuts which stop you from over shifting the gears very carefully ,as set to tight and it will jump out of gear or set to lose and you will over stress the syncro's..........
I fitted the shifter and test drove the car without refitting all the trim just to get it right.

Under the car to take the four nuts off?? Any pics.. I was getting up some courage until that point. :gr_jest:uk hsv said:To fit you simple take the Gear knob off (small clip at the base of the knob) then get under the car and take the four nuts off that hold the rubber boot in place, then drop the back of the gear box (marking the bolt locations for the refit!) this is for some space to remove the four bolts holding the old shifter in place......
it is a simple job.........it must be as I did it!!!
ps. I bought the shifter direct from GM Motorsport in OZ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

I received it on Thursday. It looks similar to a Pro 5.0. I will install it in our SEMA project car next week and post feedback subsequently.bioinformaticus said:Hey Jim.. any word on the shifters?? Still tuned..
