New CSP Shifter for Gwendolyn
Hi All,
Visited Classic VW this afternoon and bought two things, one for me, one to keep my wife happy. For me was a new CSP Shifter, which went on this
afternoon, which after a bit of fiddling (thanks Pete) is now working perfectly and ensuring very quick shifts, and no crunches moving back from third
to second.
For the wife, it was one of the new glue on dash covers for the Super, which I'll probably have a shot at tomorrow. Will report on success or
failure.
Whilst at Pete's I picked up the 36IDFs that Pete mentioned in another post a few weeks back, so now I'll have to get those cleaned and jetted, as
well as buy myself the other gear, (manifolds, linkages etc).

is a quick shift just a normal manual H pattern or forward to shift up and back to shift down

Quick shifter is just a normal H pattern, sequential sounds nice but I hate to think what you'd need to do and what it would cost. From what I can
gather (not a technical guru like some on the forum) the quick shifter reduces the mechanical advantage of the normal shifter, which means you need to
supply more torque through your arm to change gears, but the advantage is that the gear change happens more quickly. The other side affect is that I
believe it increases the pressure on the box, which means you will shorten its life, especially if you drive it enthusiastically.
Look forward to the gurus correcting my understanding 
Cheers

Just think of it like a fulcrum - ie sea saw.
The pivot point is moved furter torwards you (shortened) so you have to move your end less to move the other end the same amount. The gear stick is
still the same length.
Like a see saw when you move closer to the pivot point you now have to push harder. Just not as far.
As for shortening a box life.
If all the couplings and bushes are in good order i dont see why

mmm, less shiny bits and more racing MR G.M. Now hurry up with the
webers!
Bizarre, short shifters move the gearbox component the same distance in less time. This will wear synchros and such out faster. But for most VW owners
who drive like scone gobblers (top term Steve1303  ) so it probably
won't make a lot of difference.

I'm afraid the Webers will have to wait until the insurer decides what they want to do with the blue beast, because Gwendolyn might get pressed into
daily driver service for a few weeks shortly. One thing is for sure, she'll be a whole heap more entertaining (and cheaper) than the auto Corolla
hire car that I had whilst the hail damage was being repaired earlier this year.

extra wear is load of crap
the only part moving at a different rate is the shifter itself
the shift rod and everything in the gearbox is still moving exactly the same as stock
any wear differences would be minute
like a case of lasting 995,000kms instead of 1 million
that said ive run a quickshift kit for 8 years now and love it
