home made tube shifter

<< < (2/4) > >>

mfp-66:
I was thinking of mounting the neutral switch on the side with a hole in the outer sleeve, the inner will have a dimple when the shifter is in the neutral position

The only shift during the race is 1st to 2nd which is just a simple push on the knob

Neutral to 1st will be done when I need to pull up to the tree so should have time to make sure it's in the right gear. If I do have an issue I can fit a spring detent ball.

Hope this makes sense ( it did in my head before I tried to write it)

dreracecar:
So your shift pattern is   P--R-N-1(low)-2(high) and not  P--R-N-2(high)-1(low)

mfp-66:
P-R-N-1-2

On mine you have to twist it to go to netural 1st to second is just straight slot.Twist and push forward for netural,twist again push forward for reverse twist oppisite and push while using foot assist that mount on trans for park.If I have to I can add flip lever for lockout.Not cocerned about neutral safety switch never had one and never been asked by tech about it.

dreracecar:
With my car I do the burn out in High gear and then as it comes down I kick it into "N" and roll out the rest of the way. Hit the lockout and then put it into reverse, back up and then bring it into low gear. Your way you will either have to burn out in low gear to get it into "N" after the BO or pass thru low after a high gear BO to get it into "N". About every car out here  runs L-H-N-R  pattern, but what ever way you are most comfortable with.
