Good news everyone!
As we reported a couple of months ago, we have had an ultra-light shifter in the works for some time. After some revised engineering, and a bold new material choice, we have arrived at the
Pfadt Über-leicht Shifter you see below!
As expected, like most everything else on the car, the shifter is no exception.
The OEM shifter weighs in at ~2.375 lbs with knob. The Über-leicht? Try a scant .875 lbs.
Throw reduction on this version comes in at ~25%, while we engineered the gate spacing to remain the same.
So heres the lowdown: We have 6 of these things just itching to get into peoples cars. And as a special consideration to you guys, we want them to be developed by people we know will give them the test miles they deserve!
So here is our proposed contest:
Tell us why you think you should be a Pfadt development member, and the best 6 responses, will get to test out the lightest unit on the market, pro-bono. The only catch is that in return for this, we are expecting valuable feedback. We want to hear your impressions, and suggestions if any. We have run it in our own development car for quite some time now, and absolutely love it. But this is a very subjective component.
So I will open it up now, and
we will close the running on 8/3. After that, we will make our decision, and post up with the winners.
So...I ask again...who wants to test one out? Post responses in this thread.
