Rip Shifter.....who has got it and what are your thoughts.

[RicheCV8]

I am looking at installing a Rip shifter. I have seen it and felt it but what's it it like over the stock unit asides from being shorter to drive. Heard it can be a little noisy but the T56 box is noisey anyway.

What are your thoughts if you have any....

Booked in at Chev's on Monday, its a birthday present to me.

I had one in my ss. Excellent precise shifting, i didn't find it too noisey at all but it depends what you get as i've heard the race version tends to be a bit that way. Mine was the street.

My Street version is also noisey but great shifter.

[weedo_86]

not sure if you can get them for a VY V6. mine cost me $500.

4seen quoted me $550 to install clutch and ripshift. would be alot less if i was just getting the ripshift.

I don't get why I would ever buy an aftermarket clutch. The one I have is stock and shifts perfectly. Never missed a gear and performs ultra quick shifts (I dont think it could get much faster). I have seen this rip shift thing in a shop before and it had a diagram of 2nd to 3rd but I didn't read it. Why exactly is it so good and how does it make 2nd to 3rd so good?

They do make one for the manual V6 if I remember correctly. Now, the shifter is installed and let me tell you this K-99, your going to love it. It really is one of those units that should have been installed in these sorts of cars when new or at least a dealer option. Chev's had it installed in an hour or two and from I saw there is a fair amount of work involved. Drive shaft off, tranny X member out, cat back removed and then the interior.

As soon as it was tested I had to bail to do some running around, there was a smile on my face from ear to ear. Was the best $$$ to spend on a bolt on aside from the OTRCAI.
