Shifter doesn´t center good from the left side...

Austrian Viper · January 28th, 2007, 12:30 PM

The shifter on my 15K miles 99`GTS that I just bought doesn´t center good from the left side to the middle........from the right side it seems ok.

I´m new on the Viper, so what should I look after to cure it?

Also, is a short shifter much of an improvement on the Viper?
If yes, then which is the best?

I have a C´s shifter on the Supra and like it a lot......

B&M ripper short shifter works much better that the stock unit. Also you might need a new tranny mount.

I wasn´t happy with the B&M on my Supra....that´s why I changed it again....

Why a new tranny mount??
What could that have to do with the shifter not centering from the left side?

Where is the spring located that makes the shifter centering?

Hmm - maybe something failed inside of the transmission?

Don´t think so on a 15K miles car that never got raced.....

I have a stock shifter out of my 97 GTS , I will sell it to you for $50 US plus shipping. Maybe it is the shifter that is screwed up.........

This is how you change it out:

I have the same problem with mine. There isn't much resistance to centering, but it feels like a weak spring.

Buy one of those blueprinted shifters from Atro racing.

Is the centering spring in the shifter?
Don´t think so.....
Or yes??

This is worth YOU reading this

We developed and started selling the 1" and 2" lowering bolts 7 years ago. We sell them for $25 each. If you buy the SVS shifter you get both of the bolts for free.

He is such a tool. You would think the people buying from Atro would get a clue and search around to find the best prices on stuff, but instead they just keep feeding this tool their money. I don't see how the VCA lets him remain a supporting vendor over there. All his shit is either way over priced or he has copied someone else's product and trying to sell it as his own work.

Don´t worry, it wasn´t too difficoult to find out myself

I´ve allready looked at your homepage and read all about the shifter and adjustment bolts.

Sounds good.

Do I understand it right that the shifter has the centering springs inside, as "Big Carrot" mentioned firmer springs?

Yes the springs are much "firmer" than stock. We changed them 2 or 3 times along time ago when we were designing the shifter. We adjusted according to owners that told us what they liked better. I think it's the best all around spring that we could come with.

It does make it a little harder to get in reverse.

You would like the feel and positive shifting alot better than stock

Hmmm......sounds good!

Reverse is a bit harder on my Supra, too, but that ensures it to
be strong enough for the 2 - 3 shift

I´ll put it on my orderlist......

Thanks
