    Hi guys!
    I wanted to share with you my creation , it is a sequential gearbox with feedback to the shifting!


    hope you like it! :D

    I have to make a change in the week! I will make the picture as soon as I made a change :)
    the feel is really good,
    when you press the lever is the mechanism that creates opposition to the movement , it is as if simulating the coupling of a real gearbox.
    The system is look like a ARC CARBON SHIFTER and MANUFACTORY SHIFTER, just that I use multiple soft compared to them, in training sessions aimed prodding me after 30/40 minutes

    I have used google translate, sorry :/

    After lookinf at your photo's can, i have to say very nicely done... A friend of mine and myself are also developing a Sequential shifter. And we are wondering what kind of parts did you use for the spring system. Especially the parts that are on the axis.

    Great work, something for me to start building right away. Thanks for the pics, makes it easier to follow

    Sweet concept! Out of interest, what is the origin of the spring? Specs?
    Cheers

    Hello,

    I like our Shifter, to you have a Partslist of all things ?

    Do you also have a cad file for it ?

    bye Thomas
