just installed mallett shifter-- thoughts
hi all,
i installed a mallett shifter (silver, diamond) over the weekend and really like it except for the small rattle i get under load (mostly in 3rd). i talked to chuck mallett and he recommended wrapping the shaft with foam rollbar padding that extends down far enough to contact the rubber boot on the base and zip-tie'ing it in place. i'll try that and post back with the results.
overall though it's a big improvement over the stock shifter-- very smooth and easy to manipulate, yet precise. the diamond **** took a little getting used to, but i'm beginning to like how it feels and it looks sweet IMO.
as i've never tried any other shifters on a C5, i can't really comment on how it compares, but i'm happy with it and that's what counts. :steering:
