Seine
Systems' Customers Speak Out updated,
1/16/05 "The
ability to shift into the correct gears was a night
and day difference with the Gate Shifter installed.
The
only problem I had was pulling the shift knob off
on a flurry of up and down shifts while in a
mountain section. Hitting the correct gears was not
even a second thought, I knew exactly what gear I
was shifting to. I utilized the Porsche short-shift
kit in conjunction with the gate shift kit which
made the throws quick and concise. I've put about
three thousand miles on it and it is still as tight
and centered as the day I first tried
it. The
installation was easy (a couple of hours) and it
worked right from the start without any adjustments
to the linkage needed at all. This took my car from
356 technology to true 911 technology. This is a
great product for early 911's with their inherently
"loose" shifting characteristics. Thanks
again for the help." "....So
I am very satisfied not only with the mechanical
benefits, but also that my mind is able to be off
my shifting and back onto the
track!" click

for a great kit!" CS
"Inspired
by the improvement in the daily driver feel of the
almost 20 year-old car with your shift kit
in,
after 5 years of lusting after them, I just dropped
about $3k to put 7 & 9 x 16 Fuchs on my 85
Carrera, with some nice Yokos - and then
another $1.3k of ss brake lines, super blue, turbo
tie rods, alignment and corner balancing - car is
transformed. It is my daily driver though, and I
haven't fouled up a shift since your kit was in.
Point
here is - your kit made as much difference to my
daily-driver experience as this did, and lets me
use the new surefootedness to even deeper, better
advantage and with more confidence for those, ahem,
other occasions. I'm
sure the Wxxx is great, but for the price, yours is
a way better value than the other shift tower
conversion plus no need to send the bloody thing to
Omaha or wherever for a bit of file and Dremel work
(and with the 1-2 gate mod just a better upgrade to
boot) and hard to think of a better way to improve
your 915-quipped car for a mere $150 or so.
Thanks
again,"
"Your
shifter worked great! .... Love your
kit!" Mike
Gagen, one of the top performers in the Southern
California autocross scene, installed the
Gate
Shift kit after
seeing its introduction at the annual RGruppe
gathering in 2002. Mike's '69
RS-bodied 911
is a formidable AX and track car. With little room
for error , missed shifts can make all the
difference between a win, a nice try or bent
valves. With the Gate
Shift kit,
there is one less thing to worry about. The
spring-loaded shift mechanism gives Mike the needed
feedback to upshift/downshift with
confidence. "....As
I look back to the AX day,
the
shift kit gave me excellent feed
back.
On braking I always went in deep, down shifting at
the last moment with full confidence. " "In
a 50mph+ left sweeper up shifting from 2nd to 3rd
in a full throttle slight left under steer, I push
in the clutch and the car turns left another 10
degrees from the momentary weight transfer.
The
shift kit spring just guides me into third, an
upshift to first gear would be
catastrophic.
I hold the wheel still as I quickly place the gear
shift into third and release the clutch at full
throttle. The car straightens immediately and
tracks perfectly into a 5 cone slalom at 60
mph+...." Update:
"I have been racing with my Seine Systems shift kit
for over a year and it works great. Since it was
installed and adjusted it has worked
perfectly." In
addition, Mike's car (in '04) "has got TTOD at a
PCA Zone 8 AX. A couple TTOD in AX AM class as
well. On the big tracks a couple TTOD in AM class
at both the PCA Time Trails I attended this
year."
