Lotus Elan Central

I had one with the car, yet to be fitted. I am not sure which kit it is. Does it make a real difference?

The only thing I hate about the Élan is the throw of the stick.


Thanks

I think there pretty much all the same.

Having just fitted one I would recommend the short shift, whoever supplied it! Mine is the latest by BCN. Reduces lever movement in all directions, making for a much more precise change.

Get it fitted or DIY. Awkward but not impossible. I was lucky (?) but I did not need to do any adjustments to mine when I fitted it: it was set up correctly right out of the box!

Fit it now. I'm sure you'll like it.

It was top of my list to fit to the new car, having had one in Patch.

(Having said that, it would be second on my list if the brakes weren't upgraded, but they are )

After fitting almost 10 of these: This is a no brainer, have it installed or DYI

Thanks guys will def get it fitted the cables have been upgraded so looking forward to the change. The brakes are ok they have been overhauled but they are on my list before I go for a chip

I have thousands of pounds of upgrades but the short shift is the best by far especially value for money

The shift kit is worth every penny and more. The shift cables made by Brit-car-nut make combined with a short shift kit make an incredable difference in the Elans shifting. Sublime..... BCN

Guys,

Which shift kit you recommend to install ?

Thanks & regards,

BCN cables and Short Shift Kit
Cannot recommend highly enough, transforms the shift quality and improved reliability with new cables
