So happy with how the car is feeling right now, being able to shift it reliably now has really helped bring it to life. As for the longevity of the shifter only time will tell. Thanks to @driftgold & @LonnoFPV for the outside shots!

I was looking at this shifter for months and finally decided to give it a go. Its not cheap but if it can do its job reliably its going to improve one of the last weak links with this car.

Was having such a good time until we had some issues around half way through the day with the diff and unfortunately had to call off competing the following day. In good news the Just Engineering steering setup has ticked all the boxes i have been asking for so i am really happy with that.

      I saw alot of bad feedback and yet here i am 4 events in with no issues at all. If its worth it depends on what you are doing with the car, if its just a street car you cruise around there is no place for this shifter. If you are competing or racing in the car there is no better shifter for the CD009. I had serial 9 before this that everyone thinks is the best option but i hated it, worst shifter i have ever had. How long this will last, i dont know but there is only one way to find out. My last transmission the synchro's went bad after about 1 year with the serial 9 so if i can get faster and significantly more reliable shifting with the same lifespan that is a win.

  • @ZERO._.R

    Bro just wondering , can you shift faster ? Or is it the mechanism of the shifter limits the speed of the shifting ? Because i saw a real sequential transmission shift a bit faster.

    • @AndrewDate
      @AndrewDate 29 днів тому

      It can shift faster than I am using it but at that point the shifting is abit unreliable and probably very hard on the synchros in the gearbox. If your purpose is fast as possible shifts definitely go for a dog engagement gearbox but for me/my application I'm happy with the speeds of these shifts and the reliability has been great, significantly better than all CD shifters.

    Is this the shift assembler that bolted to the stock transmission but essentially acts as a sequential question mark I've seen these before I was always curious if they really work. What is your feedback now?

    • @AndrewDate
      @AndrewDate Місяць тому

      Yep that's right just a stock 350Z transmission with the sequential pattern shifter. I've done 2 events in the car with it and so far 0 problems with miss shifts or popping out of gear like I have heard about. Only annoying thing about it I would say is that it vibrates and rattles at high rpm.
