Question about Precision Performance Shifters
 

I have a TH350 with a automatic 1-2 shift forward valve body for the car I am putting together. So the only shifting I have to do is the 2-3 shift. I was going to use a gate type shifter like the one ATI sells so I dont have to pull a handle while moving shifter lever at the same time. I have heard alot of good things about the Precison Performance shifters. My question is do you have to pull the little handle and move the shift lever at the same time to make the 2-3 shift? If so is it a pain in the but? Looking for opinions. Should have not been so cheap *** and bought the electronic valve body trans and this would not have been a issue LOL.
Thanks
Rob

Rob, I have a Precision shifter. No lever to squeeze to up shift. Just push the main lever.

Ed
Which one of their shifters do you have? Kwik shift I or Kwik shift II.


Thanks again for the help.

Re: Question about Precision Performance Shifters
 

I have a precision shifter and love it. Previously i was using a b&m star shifter and the ppp is light years easier to use. My trans is also an auto 1-2 and no issues with additional levers to pull or move. Great tech support too by the way.

Got me, what's the difference?
Mine has the built-in C02 cylinder, and "Clean Neutral".

Re: Question about Precision Performance Shifters
 

I was just told it's a Kwick Shift I.

Re: Question about Precision Performance Shifters
 

Then you have either the "Powershift" or the "Kwik shift II" they dont recomend the Kwik shift I to be used with the CO2 cylinder. The Kwik shift II is base price of 200 without accessories and the Powershift is 415 with out the extras. I am sure there are other differences I am not understanding. I guess I better call them and see what they recomend before I screw up and buy the wrong part again. I have done that too many times already LOL!
Thanks
Rob

I think you have it backwards. The Kwik Shift II is the cheaper version of the Kwik Shift I.

You treed me by 2 minutes must have posted while I was typing.


@Dion do you know which one you have?

I guess I am going to go with them. Much smaller and look much better than the big ol gate shifter. Plus I have not heard one bad thing about them.

Re: Question about Precision Performance Shifters
 

Your right I got them backwards. sorry about that.

Re: Question about Precision Performance Shifters
 

No worries. I know our group really prefers them. You should be very happy with it.

Re: Question about Precision Performance Shifters
 

I had to go look at my receipt as i couldnt remember which but i have the quick shift 2. I ordered it with the necessary brackets and when i called we spent some time on the phone making sure i was getting all that i needed, like i had said great customer service hope this helps.

Ps the part number is 201b k/s 2

pps almost forgot, my line lock button was on the shifter arm ,and when I got the ppp shifter I had to order thier switch. It is custom formed to the handle and works great...expensive.....but great. the switch was 60 doll hairs.

Re: Question about Precision Performance Shifters
 

I switched to a Kwik Shift I earlier last year in our sportsman car. Works perfect and the quality is very nice. Nothing more than a push forward needed to change gears, both from 1-2 and 2-3. Very nice shifter.

Only issue I have had with mine the last four years has been a couple of screws falling out. I would recommend snugging them up periodically. I put a dab of blue Loc Tite on mine the second time it happened.

Re: Question about Precision Performance Shifters
 

Thanks for the help guys. I am going to get one. I will call them later in the week and get what they recomend. I guess it would be best to get the whole thing from them shifter,shifter brackets, cable, cable brackets and trans arm all at once. The wife will love it when the Visa bill comes in. I can imagine the butt chewing alredy. LOL.

Its always easier to beg forgiveness than ask permission...:-)

Re: Question about Precision Performance Shifters
 

Rob... You can't go wrong with this product. They have really spent some time on the engineering aspect. Function and finish are flawless. Get the whole package from them the brackets and arm are all the finest quality and everything including cable are made in the USA...Maurice.

Re: Question about Precision Performance Shifters
 

I had this shifter on my rebel machine and it worked great ,,one thing to know when you install it as any cable shifter install ,,make sure the cable is routed with less bends as possible ,,if there is any bind on the cable it wont allow the detent to drop to shift into the next gear ,,I think the shifter has a front and rear cable exit option gmonde

The stars lined up today in my favor. I took her out to lunch today and she asked about the car and what I needed for it. I told her a shifter and a couple of other parts that are less than 100 dollars each. She told me she would buy me the shifter stuff as my Christmas present. I almost fell out of my chair. LOL Its the second time in our relationship she has got me a part for a racecar. 1st time was a roller camshaft that hangs on my office wall since I quit using it LOL.. She does not mind me racing and even encourages it. But she expects me to figure out how to pay for it on my own.

Rob, I think Jeanie looks at time I'm gone racing as "Jeanie time". LOL

Re: Question about Precision Performance Shifters
 

Anybody got a good number for Precison Performance? I have called the number on thier website a bunch of times and can never get ahold of anyone. The answering machine that picks up says they are not available and to call "Brad" at a 208 area code number. I have called there too with no luck. Do they have distributors or is the only way to get one directly through them? If you know of a better way to contact them or some other way to purchace one please let me know. I need the whole ball of wax shifter, cables, brackets ect ect.
Thanks
Rob
