anybody know of a company that already sells one for the GTA?

i bought a quickshift kit from japan for my previous 147gta... it was specifically made for it and somehow they only had 1 unit in stock... once i bought it they took the product off their website and has been out ever since.... its a direct bolt on kit complete with fitting instructions (in japanese of course) and i had to remove the whole front exhaust pipes + heatshield to access the gearbox from below to fit the short shift.

im not sure who is the manufacturer but on the box was printed ZAKSPEED.

it pushed the gearshift higher and the shifts were way much shorter, however the 5th gear had a very short throw & u had to get used to it in order not to miss the slot in. Other than tat it worked perfectly.

i left the quickshift intact when i sold me 147gta... u wldnt believe wat my AR agent told me when i asked them to remove it

i bought my set from flatout...
