New Pro Racing Shifter Arrived!

As I wait for my Nelson Racing Wheel Interior Trim and Steering Wheel to arrive my best friend got his tax return and he wanted to buy me a late birthday gift and he bought me a Coolerworx! We purchased it through Vader Solutions as Omar is always great to talk to and buy from and he always delivers! Here is a couple of photos of the shifter. I also just ordered new gauge faces and I'm sending my cluster in to get remade and calibrated.

Looks awesome. Wish someone made an adjustable length version of these chassis mounted shifters.

Looks cool, but how does it work. Are you only able to shift the lever up or down? Is it still gated?

yea it's still gated that, spring in the middle is what brings it back to center. seems kind of long though.

Sorry for the late reply. As the others stated. It definitely is still a gated 6 speed shifter. It goes back into the center I believe. I had got sponsored by RTD however they are slow at responding and their country is on lock down so there are no shipments going out of country so I ordered mine thru Vader Solutions. Omar is always a great person to talk to and buy from. I couldn't be more excited to put all my interior back together.

It's a CAE UltraShifter clone.

For the 2-3 shift, it centers itself to align with third gear while in second, so all you need to do on the lever is push up, and it'll automatically force the linkage over into third. Pretty cool way to combat money shifting.
