I have found a picture and limited info on doing this.

Anyone have any info? I am going to pro shift my transmission, might have liberty faceplate it if I can afford it, and install a v-gate shifter and could use a little help.

Seems like a great budget way to avoid mis-shifts and shift faster. No way in hell can I afford a clutchless, that costs more than the whole car. lol

Thanks guys.

 

I am looking at doing something similar but have not approached liberty about this yet. Winter is the perfect time I guess.

 

What is it you are doing? changing a t2 to a clutchless???

 

I am not going to go through liberty at all. I will be doing the modifications.
Although, if I can get together enough money, I might send it to them to have it faceplated.
You will still need to use the clutch. Just a tap though, and it will go into gear.
It also helps with high rpm shifting where the synchro would limit the trans.
The v-gate shifter changes the shift pattern to back in forth instead of an h-pattern.

So basically miss-shifts would be a thing of the past with this setup.

 

I have taken a look at one. Its a lot easier than one might think. If you have the skills and tools to do so...

The 3 linkages on the tranny that normally get pushed and pulled to switch gears need to be adapted to the V gate shifter. You can see them if you remove the tailshaft housing. It's a little more involved but that basics are, cut holes in the tailshaft housing to get access, weld on mounts for shifter. Attatch V-gate linkages to tranny linkages and adjust as needed to change gears.

 

I think it would be easier to replicate the Stillway shifter. You end up with the same idea as the v-gate without tearing into the case and internals of the box. I've been trying to buy one recently, but Stillway is apparently in the middle of bankruptcy and there are no more being produced and doesn't look good for future supply. They look to be pretty easy to replicate.

 

Cool, good to hear. Thanks man!

I can get a v-gate shifter pretty cheap from one of my friends so that is probably what I am going to use.

 

I might have my hands on one in a few weeks.

 

I looked at Stillway some time ago and they wanted an arm and a leg for one.
If somebody replicates these, I will buy one!

 

Anyone else have any info about a V-GATE on a turbo II tranny?

Thanks in advance guys.

Here is a pic from my buddy Rotor Rabbit in Germany. He did the same thing you are asking about. Pretty simple actually.

 

*right click, save-as*

Thank you very much for sharing that, I like that idea a lot!

 

Great pic! Thanks man!
+1

 

Oh yeah!..easy as pie!..even a caveman can do it!....lol!
Now if it was a bolt on part,I'd be all over it!..haha!

 

 

Thanks! That was the only pic I could find prior to making this thread. lol

 

there is a few more out there, was a much closer shot at the setup, cant remember where i saw it but if i find it ill slap it up

 

Fitting the shifter to the tranny is the easy part. Hooking the linkages to the right arm with the correct distance/movement is the hard part...

 

Sweet, thanks man!
Yeah that's what I was thinking.
