heel/toe shifter for GS/RS

[wyliec]

I'm asking after the fact b/c I ordered one today. Has anyone purchased one for their GS/RS? If so, is it an easy install and are you satisfied?

Someone did some checking and the one from InspectorGadget will not work on the GS/RS.

Don't know about the heel-toe setup, but RT sales is a Spyder dealer, southeast of Fort Wayne, IN.

I was going to insert the link to them in my reply, but did not have it in my favorites. It is a really nice shifter, but only works with their floorboard according to the seller.

I have this shifter on my SM5 and I love it...serves a dual purpose in that it's also regarded as a forward control giving you additional leg room. One thing to be aware of...it's an easy install but you're gonna have to cut a portion of your tupperware to do the install..

Having trouble finding a battery for my cam...will try a pic with cell phone...If that doesn't work...will be in a few days after I order one online...sorry for the delay..

Littlebadwolf,

Just so I don't screw up my tupperware; do you think a good set of metal snips will work to make the cut you mentioned? What did you use?

 

[Littlebadwolf]

I used a jigsaw but I think snips would work...Lamont could probably give you better advise on this...it's not a hard cut....upside down half circle wide enough to get your toes in...

Finally got a battery for my camera...here's a couple of pictures of the toe heel shifter installed...hope it helps..

I am a bit confused, but only a little bit. When you down shift you use your toe, and to up shift you use your heal?

 

[Bob Denman]

Yup! :thumbup:

 

[Littlebadwolf]

Shifting process may be confusing at first but very easy once you get the hang of it...

the toe shift (down)...initially brings you into 1st gear...to go into reverse, toe shift down again...you can also use the heel shift to drop to 1st from neutral...and once again into reverse...

To shift thru 2, 3rd, 4th and into 5th...toe shift down...
To downshift from 5th or any other gear...heel down...all the way to 1st in increments..

It's not really confusing...just different...but excellent when you get used to it...
