So it's seems like the import guys are always getting weighted shift ***** to help with notchy shifting and just to help overall smoothness from a shift..
has or is anybody running a weighted shift **** on their truck??
did it make a difference???

thoughts???????

I turned this chunk-O-steel down on the lathe at work...I think it may be a little big?!?!
I will try it and let you all know.....

That's awesome, do you know off hand what the threads are on our shifters? We've got some extra stainless

Not sure it'll help on your G56, Mark - they already shift like greased lightning!

I dont know if they are the same on the 2nd gens/NV's???

I know they do shift nice!!

but I was bored so what the heck


I just got back from a test drive..it works great!!! it really cleaned up the shift..but it IS too big I am going to turn it down some more and try again.

now the reverse detent is barely noticeable
it's so big I am afraid it will bounce out of gear tho so I will turn it down some more. I feel it really makes a big difference is the smoothness and quickness of the shift

to be continued.....

Did some more on my lunch break...I think I will leave it like this. I test fit it a few minutes ago(just in my drive way, no test drive) and it feels and looks way better..it's still so heavy I had to drill the bottom out, I think I will drill some more and call it good..I guess I should have snapped a installed pic too

I like this shape better than the V 2.0 that you made, could you just shorten it up to cut some weight????????????????????

this version looks weird on the shifter...the tapper looks way better once it's on. version 1 looks a little out of place IMHO.

I can not wait to see a installed picture. I just might have to make up a new **** when I am home this weekend.

I should have it installed in the morning..with pics to follow

Thanks Troy. No biggie if you get time or a chance snap a pic or two if not dont sweat it

you check yours







I weighed the **** tonight it came in at 2.5-3.0 lbs but I am not 100% sure of the accuracy of the scale I used....I will try to find a better scale to compare.

That's fine for sled-pulling, but you might want to machine a lightweight brother out of titanium for the quarter or your ETs are gonna suffer!

the lighter it is the harder it will be to shift......with this **** I can pull the gears with one finger...fast and smooth

a titanium one would weigh the same as the stock plastic piece
