well speed shifting is not good for these gear boxes ----the forks bend so take time to enjoy each shift or find an other box ---ed
dont close your eyes --you will miss the crash

John,
Which one did you use? Any pictures?
Will you be at Donington on Saturday?
Maybe I can look at it then?

Salut
I think the Escort RS quickshift could fit both Lotus boxes. It looks like the standard item with a metal collar to move the pivot point up.
Graham Boulton of 5-speed 'box rebuilding renown, told me not to put a quickshift - he said the 5-speed baulk rings are easily snapped.

Sorry no photos of this,was a bit busy,and yes, should be at Donny on Saturday,the quickshift was a Ebay bargain for ?15 and it has a metal collar as Vernon says and takes quite a bit of getting used to as the throw is now tiny...but makes the gargantuan sloppy shift a thing of the past
