One of the easiest mods to install (took about 15min). Greatly improves shift feel & feels like it reduces throw by about 50%. A great option if you dont want to spend a fair amout of $$$$ on a complete short shifter. Couldnt be happier with it.....


(Forgot to mention that i recently changed back to the stock shifter weight just to see what it was like.......for me, i found it less notchy, the extra weight seemed it guide the shifts into place easier)

as above!!

I found it notchy in some gears & the rubber boot had to be greased regularly to prevent wear. Now they have an upgrade which stops the boot from rubbing shifting is so much nicer after fine tuning the gear shift.

Great little mod.

Amazing short gear changes, it does take some use to it but after a while it just becomes very natural. Before having the short shift plate I would struggle a lot to make 3rd gear changes at very high revs (6500rpm) but since the install of the short shift plate I dont struggle anywhere near as much.

As for fine tuning is easy as, you can find a video in the JBarone website showing you how to do it. That is if you struggle to engage some of the gears after the install otherwise you like a few other people here wont need fine tuning.

Rino ,Rino, Rino , I was joking about the short shifter but we will see how you feel after youvé driven some of the roads up here .DEFINATELY NOT FOR THE FAINT HEARTED !!! Trust me if you don't pay attention and show MADAZ some respect she WILL Kill you & ME cause I will be the passenger in the silly seat . I ' ve raced and driven some very quick machinery as well a 250 superkart is no slouch I always felt it was trying to kill me at 10/10th's as well .Madaz on a open twistie road driven over 8/10th's feels the same that's why I love this car you must master it , if you don't she will spit you out . ENOUGH TALKING WE WILL HAVE TO WAIT TILL YOU GET HERE !!!!! You make a mistake on the Gillies Hwy it is a 1400 metre drop and for most of the 18 klm's there are no gaurd rails you are in for a unique experience ,Not to many sleeps left my friend Bring your camera or video recorder or both . .

I installed the J-Barone short shifter about 3 months ago and have been happy as a pig in shit with it, great little mod with much improved gear changes, no need for fine tuning here either...
