Re: Shift Return Spring Example Needed

Adam,

Glad to here it's working out for you. Yes, please share your photos.

My only apprehension with adding additional spring force to the transaxle end of things, is the additional load is transfered directly to your cables subjecting them to increased chance of possible failure (theoretically). When the solution is configured at the shift lever end, then the cables realize no additional loading.

If I recall correctly, the Brandwood shifter has no spring centering provision. A local shop of some repute, chose a modified Ford Focus shifter over the Brandwood shifter for a GT40 replica they were re-fitting. I wish I had my camera at the time to take a shot; it looked very nice indeed.
