Hi Guys,
I have been trialling one of these JBarone shift plates for MPS Garage for the last couple of weeks or so, and it is absolutely rockin'.
If you don't know about it, have a look at this;

As you can see from the video's, the shift plate sits on top of the stock arm, changing the nipple position, thus reducing throw by approximately 40%, giving a tighter and more precise shift feel.
I have asked the boys to consider dropping price on a limited number for forum member in order to celebrate them stocking this high quality engineered US product here in Australia. They will be selling them for $99.00 plus shipping off their website, but have approved a GB (first 20 purchases only) for $90.00, inclusive of tracked shipping, which would normally be another $10-$15. Payment processing and shipping matters will all be handled via MPS Garage, as I am only a facilitator.
I really do like the shift plate, and thought that this may be a way to help people save money on a short shift kit which normally will run you anywhere between $200 - $300.
As far as I know, I have the only GenII in Aus with this plate, and I know you are jealous. If you have any questions about the GB or the shifter in general, please feel free to PM me.
will keep a running list on the numbers from both here and OMC, and I will let you know as to whether the GB can proceed.
Cheers
Mark
