jeff390 Member 7 Member For: 15y 4m 5d Gender: Male Location: Nelson New Zealand Posted 04/01/10 08:52 PM Share Posted 04/01/10 08:52 PM Hi Folks,I have a manual F6 (BAII w/322rwkw) and I find the shift quality really poor, I have a hard time driving it smoothly, especially peddling hard and have often missed the shift completely & ground the gears (2nd/3rd - 4th/5th are the worst). Will a shortshifter help with this? Does anyone have experience with any particular one & would care to recommend it? I know these boxes are not slick little numbers you might find in a hot Mitsi, but still anything to improve it would be good. Cheers ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
