its a gimmick. The shift pattern of your gearbox remains a h-pattern, it doesnt interface/change your gearbox in anyway, so theres still a limit to how fast you can shift it.

That said, it *might* help you with missed gear shifts (push up/down, instead of trying to manually shift the h-pattern) but seriously, for the money?....

probably not worth it.

We'll all comfortably ignore the fact that its almost total wank for the street :P

For that money, theres other mods you could do to help you shift quicker.

I realise a turbo does a different job. The facts are, for what it is, it's damn cheap, whether you are interested in purchasing one or not is entirely up to you.

^^ Or actual racers who have been using sequential gear boxes for years.

Not sure about this particular brand, but when looking around for information on them I read that alot of them are pretty hard on your gearbox. Not sure how true this is though, did read it on the internet.

What you have to remember, though, is that this device CANT CHANGE the nature of your gearbox.

Your gearbox is NOT a sequential one. you still have to let synchro's spin up, etc etc. THis could be very hard on them, if your trying to shift a lot faster than "normal".

There's a device out there, i've seen it on a mk4 supra TT. Looks like a little lever. When the levers up, its a h-pattern...down..its a sequential shift (you just use the 3rd and 4th gear gates.).

Think i saw it on to4r.com somewhere.

Myself, I'd just be using it to eliminate the H gate pattern. If ANYONE expects this device to actually provide quicker shifts is just wanking themselves.

It takes a bit to get used to but is in the end quite easy, you actually start to forget what gear your in.....

beware though if not set up correctly it is harsh on the synchros, properly setup it will give a good season or two of reliable motorsport use or years and years of stree use.

According to that website, they only make it for the 6 speed not the 5 speed so only S15 owners need apply.
