Title: Forge Motorsport quick shifts
Post by: DomBacon on February 14, 2014, 10:06:53 pm
Been looking at the Forge Motorsport quick shift and side quick shift

If someone has them fitted are they worth getting?

Any bad points about them?

Cheers Dom.  :happy2:

No bad points, awesome bit of kit and well worth the little money they cost. Add some 42 Draft Design bushes and a AKS bracket/bush FTW. Have a look in my build thread for all the details.

What Martin said, ^^^^ I really like this mod, as it shortens the gear change to a more suitable distance, which suit your needs!

It's funny when you get into a normal car, it feels like the change is miles away, you have to over reach just to change gears.... :signLOL:

^^^^ That's absolutely fine and exactly the same as the Forge one, just a wee bit cheaper as its a generic one.  :wink:
