I found my Gforce shifter in my room that I bought years ago. At the time when I bought it I could not figure out a way to mount it that it would not come out of gear from the engine movement. I know T1 has a kit out there to mount it but just wanted to see what other people did to mount the shifter?

 

aren't you suppose to run solid mounts??

 

Solid mounts are absolutely necessary. You cannot use the G Force shifter with rubber mounts, period

 

Sure you can, but it'll pull out of gear. lol

 

I installed mines with the hardware/parts Tony supplied me and read the instructions, second one i didnt need instructions........Thanks Tony!
Very simple to set up, but tricky with the gear alighning, but weld and its on..........

 

I have solid mounts been running them since 2002.

 

We use the T1 shifter plate and T1 shifter rod with all of our G-Force shifters.. Plus, if you get the shifter itself from T1, he modifies it internally for more travel, which is a must..

 

Did he do this with all of them?

I got one of the early setups and I don't think this was done. I may need this as I'm pretty close to the limits as is with the shifter....

 

So everyone is just usings Tonys piece? I know dave made his own setup. Just trying to see whats out there.

 

i made my own but by the time you buy all the piecs to make it tonys kit is not bad price wise. its not hard to modify the shifter for more throw i replaced the allen screws with set screws and did some grinding maybe to much i had to mill the top plate a little so it would hit the stops and not the plate

 

I tryed to make my own but it was ugly and I wasnt going to use that on my car even if no one could see it.lol
Tony's piece is very nice and works awesome.

 

Are you referring to 1-3 travel?

 

The early ones didn't have the modification, but the newer ones do.. I'm pretty sure he's modding them for more front and back travel.. I did a bunch of work on mine to get more travel in all directions, after seeing Aaron and Henry from Full-Race work on theirs, and having a cut open trans case half to see what was going on inside the trans..

 

Sorry to bump this up

But we are trying to setup my shifter now and same as whats written here the front and back travel is not enough.

The shift lever is hitting the top plate.

Do you guys only modify/grind/mill the top plate or are you guys modifying anything else?

Thanks!

 

The top plate as well as a section inside the box. Email tony for the write-up

 

Thanks!

Emailed Tony, still waiting for reply.

 

Any one else who knows what to modify inside? Aside from the top plate?

Thanks!

 

Follow Tonys instructions to theT1...

 

Yup followed everything.

Question is whats to edit/modify inside the shifter itself.

 

if you take it apart, push it all the way forward and backward and youll see where its making contact. then grind that down to a 45* angle where its hitting. then youll have to cut some of the top plate out to get the benefit of the modification you did to the inside.

 

Thanks will try that when i take it apart.
