I have written about the gear shift before so here goes; forth time lucky.
Essentially the Honda (car) box is an inline 6 speed and in the donor the shifter falls to hand. In the lakester its 10 feet behind your hand which is inconvenient.
At the box end the shift lever is replaced with a sliding mechanism that engages the donor parts via a ball joint so push pull is say 1st to 2nd and a few degrees of rotation goes across the box, one direction is from 3rd/4th to 1st/2nd and the other direction to 5th/6th - it is the same pattern as the car so no brain teasers here.
It is a single rod via milspec UJs from there to the cockpit (with a couple of guide bearings) and I need to remove any and all slack as that multiplies up to a sloppy shift. This iteration uses a Borgeson 3/4" telescopic shaft so there is a reasonable amount of inner sliding for and aft meaning the mechanism won't droop and bind under its own weight and, if I can get the missing tension spring, will be a bit more rifle bolt. Pinkies crossed. News flash - Borgeson can provide one foc
I do appreciate there are a dozen ways to do this - I have tried 4 but cannot stretch to a Quaife sequential box or funky air shift etc. so have to make the best of a manual action. This version is very promising.
