Re: TC Gemini Coupe
I got a rodeo style remote shifter, made up a 10mm plate out of alloy, cut the huge commercial gear stick off and welded on an M10 bolt.
Modified an Auto Console and gave it a full refurb & repositioned the console mounts.
The shifter is in a perfectly natural position, which was all i thought I would achieve.
BUT With the new shifter, it is super close, you can feel every gear change, and now the gearbox doesn't slip out of gear - the box feels so tight and precise now.
Next to work out the triple gauges, i've sent them off to be tested and calibrated.

Re: TC Gemini Coupe
Just caught up on the whole thread. Wow, such bad luck with the accident. Amazing results so far!
I also lost count the number of times Jonno asked if you were going to the Geminats

Re: TC Gemini Coupe
Thanks heaps guys, I had planned to go, but realised it was a long weekend, and realised I had double booked.
But I'll keep plugging away, hope to get to a Gemini meet though!
