Now my gear problems have been solved I'd like to get a new gear selector but not sure which one? I've got a empi at the moment but it not that good. What's everybody else got fitted.
Intrested to see the answers to this thread, I've been looking at the the Scat but replacing the T handle with a ball as i dont really want a T handle (I cant quite run to a Gene Berg) currently using the stock one with a quick shift plate and thats not too bad.
Nedfaux on here tried out the Bugtech one a while back and liked it, It may be worth the extra £££ Googleing the bugtech also pulls up positive things like 'even makes the berg feel sloppy'
I was going with Bugtech - Nedfaux on here is extremely friendly and the shifter looks cool as - however my brother was buying a Berg for his Beetle and it worked out cheaper to get them both imported from Gene Berg in the states. Mine took around 3 weeks, cost around £215 (paid through paypal so its no big issue) and then an extra £50 for import tax. I have T handle - mine does get in the way of the handbrake and as Zed says, unless the rest of the linkage is in good nick its not worth doing - I do need fettle time with mine and a good tip I had was check the free play on the clutch pedal is in tolerance (i.e. the cable hasn't stretched and knackered the cluthes ability to full disengage). The shift with the Berg are very precise and it feels solid compared to the old puddin stirer.
Where should I source a berg from? Anyone know any website? Also what ball park figure should I look to pay?
anyone tried the vintage speed shifter, there standard one in £193 http://www.vintagespeed.co.uk/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&page=shop.browse&category_id=9&Itemid=
