hi every1,

i purchased a new style kad quickshift yesterday with the lift collar reverse.
i fitted it as its supose to be fitted and i went for a test drive to see what its like.

nuteral is stiff moving but i supose this is due to wearing in?
1st gear is fine but going into 2nd doesn't feel right and it's popped back out a few times,
3rd and 4th are also fine but reverse is a complete pain doesn't go in properly and slips alot.

is this what theyre like? or does it just need to wear in?

cheers

is it a Genuine KAD item?
As the fake ones which are around £25-£30 needs tweaking to work properly...

[benpopham]

what do the fake ones need doing to them?

[benpopham]

Tis better to pay the £80, than pay £30 and waste your time

[benpopham]

[mycoolmini04]

i took the linkage off my car to fit my MK1 style KAD quickshift. I hated it, was a struggle to get 3rd n 4th for me. So i took it out. Its not very quick if you cant get used to it, as u spend more time trying to get gears then u do driving lol. Maybe its just my style of changing gear, but ive tried both now and will keep standard.

[benpopham]

yeh iv heard the pins are nasty to get out... but will all be fun lol maybe

yer i might have to go back to standard if i can't get use to it but it constantly feels like its not going
into gear which ain't very good for the gearbox when i'm crunching the gears.
i might try taking it apart 2mora and see if i can do anything.

and yer i've spent more time and concentration on changing gear than anything else, so overall its a kad slowshift for me lol
and it feels to stiff! hope that doesn't sound rude lol

If it's popping out of second after going in then the box could be on its way out soon. Generally people say the genuine KAD item is very good which also leads me to think the problem may be more to do with the box.
