Shifter sorce

UK friends

What was the orginal sorce for GTD centershift,USA type. I would like to know the year and model of car that it was sorced from. I am talking about the shifter mechanism that is located in the console between the seats that the cables go to.

Thank you in advance.

Re: Shifter sorce

Sorry but I would suspect that 99.9 % of UK guys have right hand cill shifters so will have the fabricated GTD item and not a centre shift. I stand to be corrected but why would a UK guy have a centre shift when we drive on the correct side of the road? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Hi Howard

Dave Parker's GTD R42 has the shifter mechanism you detail - I'll ask him for the details. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Re: Shifter sorce

Hi guys
my ex car GT40 Mk111 had a centre shift with GTD cables however I made the gear shift leaver translator myself.
I also looked at many production vehicles with cable change and found that the Fiat Ducato Van had a good cable shifter.

Regards
Chris
