Yes, it's true.
Don't forget, my gearchange is slightly odd because the cables are stretched over the top of my tip. Finding reverse has always been a bit of an art......
I didn't want to fit a ss that was going to make the
problem worse, I was always at risk of a cable end breaking as the side to side was bent.
However, Hootch drew my attention to the Dieselgeek set the other day and it seemed to be ideal for what I needed, completely replacing the cable ends.
I have f****d about all day trying to adjust it, but I now have it set up perfectly. ( had to keep removing my charge pipe to get at it.) Reverse is precise and the reduction in throw both ways is dramatic. Best of all, the wooliness has gone and it is now like throwing a switch.
I bought direct from Dieselgeek online last Saturday - and they were delivered from the states on Tuesday. Pleasure to deal with -they even refunded some postage to me.
