i will be making 1 for myself and 1 more. it will mostly be done on the cnc mill and manual mill. i am not sure if it will be able to use the stock pins and clips for it. this is for a gen3 by the way. manual. i dont know if my shift pattern will be different or not but it should be the same. as for i will be using a e153 tranny from the mr2 turbo with lsd. or whoever is interested get me your measurements of 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and reverse gear points measured and its free play and i will be able to make it for you. depending on how many people are interested i may make more. dont know.

What is a "shift gate" ?

henry bui · 01-24-2003, 10:47 PM

a gated shifted. instead of having the boot you have a panel with the shifter pattern on it. like in the exotic cars. like a lamborghini.

Ohh.. ok yeah

I was planning to do one but I think the distance between each speed is too small..

('92 SE V6 5spd)

This is something that will look very nice

Send me some pics of what you have done !

i havent quite finished yet
wont have it done until i install the tranny and convert from auto to manual. but i will try to get some pics of what i already did. this was a prototype. i cut the basic shape out on the cnc mill and milled the bottom of it manually. it messed up cause we didnt square it up so i will have to tap mine and screw it down. i might go with the riveted style for mine, not sure yet. doubtful though want a nice clean look. but the 1 i will be making will be the clean 1 and will use the stock tabs.
