Let's see your twin and triple stick shifters

[stan1688]

Just thought it would be nice to have all the different ones in one location. I'm leaning towards making my own setup for my doubler and want to see what everyone has done. So let's seem 'em...

**Also, post up where you got all the parts.**

I just bought a ORD setup to replace my home made one (from the previous owner). Mine works okay, but the shifters are made of thinner metal, and they deflect. The number one problem with it though, is that the previous owner used standard threaded rod for the linkages. I am guessing they are grade 5. Might be lower. They bend all of the time, and then I am underneath the rig trying to straighten them to get the gears to engage.

I can find pictures.

Greg, more info please. Home-brew or kit? Where'd you get the cables and shifters?

NWF triples. Broke the 203 shifter because the bracket was putting the cable in a bind. Had a guy on a local board build a set and they came out really sweet and I'm sure a lot cheaper than the NwF set.

both ord products.

th400 round 6 style 205 with twin stick kit and i custom flush mounted plate in floor pan.

4l80-e with 241 adaptor on redrilled 203 range box and ord doubler kit and 205 twin sticker and shift rail mods. had to open up pass side floor hole a bit to fit up threw .

ORD triple stick ... Gen2 Doubler, rotated 1" or so IIRC, so the tranny tunnel is a custom job.

And WFO billet knobs:

The aluminum is shiny enough that they seem to reflect heat. I betcha the black plastic would be worse. I just can't keep straight in my mind which is which, so the WFO ones were a requirement for me

Also, the lever would act as a heat sink, I imagine, as long as there was decent thermal transfer from the knob, i.e. it wasn't siliconed in place or something.

Because aluminum/aluminium is not a metal?

I had an aluminum t-handle on a B&M shifter and I HATED it. Burn your hands in the summer, freezing cold in the winter. Black plastic or leather wrapped shifter knobs are way better.

As for remembering which is which, it took me a bit, but now it's second nature. Left is rear axle, middle is front axle, right is range box.

Good grief I will post mine tomorrow but comparatively speaking it sucks.

Of course I only have 10 bucks into mine and its a triple stick so

ORD. i made the floor, there is also a raised section under the passenger's seat for the 205 to fit into.

apparently bright blue is a popular stick color

That's the cable option for the Atlas4 setup.

If you're doing the 203/205 setup it would be quite a bit of effort to adapt those parts.....

Do you have a passenger drop 205. Cuz mine is the opposite of what u described.

 

[jekquistk5]

Ord. Way worth the money. Yah I could fab something but time is worth more than money right now.

Nope. I do have a home made shifter though, so it might be a different set up than the ORD that I ordered. It isn't here yet, I just ordered it Monday afternoon.
