I am looking for a Racelogic traction control system and a gated shifter. I have been waiting on ECS tuning since November on backorder. (gated shifter). If anyone has a lead on either component, I would appreciate the referral.
Racelogic and gated shifter
You could probably tool it up and make one for that !
Guys,
I used Deutsche Auto Parts to source my R8 shifter. If you want a link:
Audi R8 Shifter Assembly - 420711050
Let them know you want to put it in a SLC, they will help you out.

What cables did you use? Ones supplied by Fran or custom cables. If they were custom where did you get them and was there a part number. Thanks
We are still using the kit-supplied cables.
I can find the shifter, but not the gate or the frame.
Has anyone actually installed the Audi R8 shifter in an SLC or GT-R? I would love to have an improved shifter in my GT-R and this sounds like a great solution. I just want to be sure it works. I have not yet connected the shift cables to the transaxle, but I am concerned that the shifting may be the weak point in the driving experience with this car.
Contact JohnB - I believe he has the first functional R8 shifter in an SLC. Sounds like a dream to shift from what I hear.
I just connected the standard RCR shifter in an RCR car with the Graz transaxle. There is no spring return to the 3/4 gear position and it feels a bit vague. has anyone looked at adding any spring return at the shifter or the trans for the cross gate movement?
I have installed one, last year.
Hi Preston:
Did you have any issues with installing it? You mentioned that you were able to use the cables provided by Superlite. What are your thoughts having installed it.

Is the gate spring loaded?
The gate is spring loaded.
As I am going to be racing the car, I felt that something other than the stock shifter was absolutely necessary. The side-throw was way too little for me, and I was afraid of missing a shift. Couple that with the lack of positive engagement/feel, no self-centering, etc. and it wasn't hard for me to make the decision to do something else.
The racing shop working on my car did the actual cable install but from what I recall of our discussion, it was fairly straightforward. You probably need to source the connecting clevis(es) or fabricate your own.

Thanks for the reply. I think I will need to add spring return to centre to the RCR shifter. The R8 shifter is worth a hell of a lot of money.
If anyone can come up with a source for the gate and frame, please let me now. I can find the shifter from several sources.
I just ordered everything needed from Jim Ellis Audi Parts, in Atlanta. Great Web site.
Allan was able to help me and suggested Jim Ellis Audi. The part numbers are #420711050 for the shifter assembly, #420713109A for the Sound Absorber and #4207013109C3Q7 for the cover plate. Total came to $1909.00 with shipping.
