cobb tunning short shifter

[abstrakt]

okayyyyy..so i just picked up my cobb short shifter...i must say it does look pretty nifty..just wondering if anybody has this mod on thier speed and if the can pose any feedback on the item, all i know right now is that you can decrase the throw of your shift by up to 30% or lengthen it an extra 10% also that the hieght is adjustable, anyways i like it! just wondering what other people think lol let me know?

[Mr Wilson]

Can suffer from the 'Cobb' click
Make sure to use Loctite!!!! otherwise you end up with no gears at a bad time
There is some play due to the height adjust

That's about it.

[abstrakt]

what do you mean by the cobb click?

[loki]

what do you mean by the cobb click?

it means when you're moving the shifter around, it makes a clicking noise

[abstrakt]

okayyyy lmao and yes the loctite is a good idea deffinatly will use i just hate that its winter..to cold to work on the car too cold to make logs i cant stand it:rant

[joedemarco]

When I drove Mr.Wilsons speed with the COBB Short shifter I loved it, my only concern was that one of my friends said that...I know im going to use the wrong terminology here so please correct it...he said that the gears just dont sit properly with a short shifter and it sooner or later causes issues...he knows his stuff, just wondering if you guys know anything about that as it seems a little off considering that almost everyone has a short shifter lol

abstrakt: whens the next meet??? want to see how your and mikes cars are running since the AP etc.

[CelestSpeed3]

Well, I'm going to say your friend doesn't know his stuff.

Adjusting the fulcrum of the shift cables does absolutely nothing to gear placement inside the transmission.

I would expect nothing but years of trouble free operation with a quality short shifter.

[Mr Wilson]

^^^ Yup

fair enough...well I made him look really bad, he really is knowledgeable, he explained it to me through an email so maybe the way I asked the question was the problem.


AHA!! I always look forward to fast_dude's posts!! never a dull moment. But since his cousin lives down the street and he's here all the time anyway, its no inconvenience to check them out, and as long as my car is the way it is everyone's car is waaaaay faster than mine.

[CelestSpeed3]

It doesn't matter who's car is faster then who's. So long as you enjoy your car thats all that matters.

LMAO!! I know, and I'm happy. I just like moar fast!!

[CelestSpeed3]

Moar fastz comes with 2 penalities, cost and driveablity.

Fast cars are absolutely terrible to drive slow, the rattle, shake, poor low end respsonse. With a decent tune and some minor bolt ons the Speed3 is a decent performer.

[abstrakt]

Its ok bro. I got th cobble short shifter too and i hate the faccckkkking thing

how come ? i just installed it and it looks and feels great!

[Booostin]

Dont worry fast dude thinks hes the shit cuz he has 400whp like 90% of the guys on MSF. When he can tune his own ecu and hit over 500whp then I will be impressed :chuckle

[Fack_Dude]

Blahblah. You sure talk a lot for guy with no money to his name. Give me a call when you reach the 250 hp and move out of your parents house. Lol

[Fack_Dude]

Another thing why would I need to learn how to tune my own car when I have the cash to spend on the best. Dont hate bro just be slow. Lol

[Booostin]

haha u mad

[breakfasteatre]

i think im going to cry

[loki]

keeping with the topic, I do believe Mr Wilson likes his cobb short shifter. It does click, and it does drive him nuts but thats a personal preference thing.


I think fast_dude and Boostin should just have sex (with each other...) and get it out of their system. It's a suggestion...do as you wish...

If you like the way it feels, that's all that matters. As Mr Wilson mentioned, just make sure you used some loctite because you don't want to be that guy on the side of the road who can't get his car in gear.

[Fack_Dude]

Hahaha. At the end of the day we only drive mazdas and we have lifes and i might an ******* on the forum. But in real lm the nicest guy on the street. Lol Another thing is Id pick my Harley any day than this mazda stuff..

What Harley do you have? Harley of Toronto had a 50% sale of EVERYTHING including bikes...but theres nothing left, my dad wanted an Ultra Classic but they're all gone friends of our bought 13 bikes (8 for on brother 5 for the other) and now they're going to sell them. Its ridiculous!!

[breakfasteatre]

If that dealership was honest, they would have only sold 1 bike per person. Buying 15 bikes, thats scum bag material

[Booostin]

Plus only old people buy Harleys right? :chuckle

[joedemarco]

Theyre going out of business...they needed shit gone...they have the money...a customer is a customer, you snooze you lose. For 8 bikes at 50% off...thats still MINIMUM $50,000 (but considering average price of an HD is 20,000...and I dont know what models they bought, its likely to be more than that) to be willing to drop that in one shot...bawwwwller.

[breakfasteatre]

at 50% off, they were going to sell everything anyways

[abstrakt]

damn i should have bought a bike..

[Fack_Dude]

Well as long as fast dude is on the receiving end like he is used to that's cool

Yeah, but your _ick wouldn't be able to reach....lol :chuckle

[Fack_Dude]

Plus only old people buy Harleys right? :chuckle

That's right cause I haz money not like you who lives off mommy and daddy......lol

[Thrizzl3]

Yeah, but your _ick wouldn't be able to reach....lol :chuckle

why would you even want it close to you...lol homoooo

[Fack_Dude]

[Booostin]

[loki]

[Fack_Dude]
