Title: Im looking for a 4-6 slot shifter
Post by: Hoagie_one on December 30, 2004, 12:36:48 pm

Anything from 4 to 6 positions is fine.  Preferable in decent condition and working.

Let me know what your looking to get for it please.

Thanks

heya hoagie, you probably already know this, but in case you didnt, act labs made alternate shift plates for one of their shifters and they did make 6-speed gearbox plates.

My guess as to why they quit making them is that there aren't many games that support them. Gran Prix Legends and the NASCAR series of games by Papyrus are among the few I knew of that supported anything more than a sequential up/down type shift arrangement. Now that GPL has kind of fallen off the radar and Papyrus lost the rights to NASCAR, the demand has dropped off.

If you have newsgroup access, go to rec.autos.simulators. You might be able to find an Actlabs shifter there for a reasonable price.

I have a one slot shifter, but I can't sell it because it's attached.  ;D
