LETSLA Short Shifter Linkage - Page 9 - LotusTalk

mrcarcrazy · 02-23-2009, 08:09 AM

Okay, after an incredibly spirited drive this weekend I'm interested in this mod.

So...are they in stock? or is there a wait?

Like I posted earlier, there is no question that the early Elan was one of the best...if not the best....out there.

But to be honest. As far as remote shifting goes....the M100 or the later Elan was not bad either. Once you had it adjusted right it was very nice.

They are in stock now.

Whilst prepping for the install I have noticed the following which might be helpful.

If you go to the install directions (Trueleo LMP kit car)
Then right click on any of the lower install pictures ( the ones where there is no hand url linkage) and select 'Print Picture...', the picture is much larger and hence more useful to the mechanically challenged. Me

The site still says: It will be available to ship in about two-four weeks as we are waiting on one final hardware production piece to come in.

So if we order tonight it will ship tomorrow??

craracer · 02-23-2009, 04:56 PM

Received mine today. Will be going in tomorrow!!

craracer · 02-23-2009, 07:43 PM

O.K., I would like the shortest shift (without binding) possible.

What hole # should I be using for the crossgate? And what hole # should I be using for the bellcrank?

TroyLotus · 02-24-2009, 01:36 AM

Good questions. On the bellcrank lever you can use any hole and the #1 on that is shortest throw. On the crossgate you can use the hole #2 on your picture. Also, can I use those pics on my site to explain it better?

I forgot to update that and I will fix that. Yes, I have a few in stock right now and I am getting my next batch here this week so all is good.

Guys, be sure and post your impressions/results after you get them installed

craracer · 02-24-2009, 10:14 AM

I'm in the middle of the install and came across a problem: the plastic sheath on one of the stock cables has broken in half (I haven't checked the second cable yet).

Do I need to replace the entire cable before continuing with the install, or can I simply leave the broken half of the plastic sheath on the cable (as some form of protection) and install the aluminum sheath over top of it??

craracer · 02-24-2009, 10:19 AM

Some photos

I placed an order...you can set it to stock throw right? I don't want shorter, I want stock throw (wouldn't even mind longer actually) - just the stock parts are garbage would love better feel. Will post feedback once it's on. I baby the tranny, shift with fingers, double clutch down into second usually...the whole stock assembly just feels like mash potatoes.

was that a result of your in progress install or just something you just found?

craracer · 02-24-2009, 10:34 AM

I just found it when I took the rubber boot off.

darkSol · 02-24-2009, 04:20 PM

Got mine in the mail this evening.

Very, very nicely made!

Complete kit weighs in at 1.74 lbs. (1 lb. 11.8 oz.)

Can't wait to see what it feels like - and to weigh the stock pieces too

Enjoy!

Got mine in the mail last week......very very nice.........trully a master piece

...thank you for your hard work on this upgrade....no words could describe nor picture do it justice ........

TroyLotus · 02-24-2009, 04:26 PM

darkSol- Thanks for the weight info as I do not have a scale like that. When you take off the stock parts can you weight them also to compare? I know they are much heavier by a couple of pounds I would guess, but how much I am not exact.

I am also updating the directions a bit with some new pics.
