Have a 24V swap with a G260? Want a DSSR?

I was amazed at how loud and annoying it is.

You know when you hear interior clips of rally cars and all you hear is gearbox whine. Not quite like that, but so annoying you will want to take them out inside of 10 miles

With reference to the AKG setup above, I have the same setup.

I think you will find yourself going insane from the gearbox noise with solid gearbox mounts.

I would run AKG's cupped E21 rubber trans mounts and their solid engine mounts. This way engine not going to move, hence gearbox neither BUT your gearbox doesnt transmit every single noise to the chassis.

I do this with the DTM shifter and it stays in place, doesn't pop out of gear and I don't have gearbox whine.

Trust me, solid gearbox mounts in anything but a full race car is ANNOYING AS HELL. Louder than any exhaust drone or intake or resonance. Regardless of RPM, you will have shitty, annoying gearbox NOISE with solid mounts

hmmm yeah that crossed my mind, but i really didnt think much of it (tried to ignore it really haha ).. If i get tired of the noise.. or when i get tired of it, ill do what you said lol.
how bad it the gearbox whine? obviously not like straight cut gear whine right?

is the AKG instlld?..
lets hear some reviews.
what trans/motor mounts will you use?..

I havent driven the car yet, still have a few things to finish up (did a m50 swap)

off the bat, the throws are ALOT shorter, its notchy ( which I like), and the position of the knob is great. Its just the right height from the wheel ( you dont have to reach for it like other short shifters because they sit lower). Another thing is obviously you dont have to replace as many bushings because well, there pretty much arent any except for the "bushing" on the shifter itself which really will never go bad or get sloppy.. and if it does, its an easy replacement because its right on the base of the shifter. The base is mounted very solid. no movement at all. Id def recommend it!! a dssr would make it PERFECT.. I have a g260 mounted up to the m50 sooo thats why Im interested in the custom dssr!

Engine and tranny mounts are AKG poly mounts. I wouldnt use stock tranny mounts at the least because since the shifter is mounted on the body as opposed to the tranny, movement can cause it to pop out of gear.. make sense?

If you have any other questions, or if i didnt explain something fully or it didnt make sense, let me know or ask away!
Here is a pic of the shifter installed ( sorry for the bad quality, just ran out to take one with my cell )

yes.. im def interested now.. i just got my akg shifter in and yeah... i want this lol

I would pay to makethe slop go away.

I don't want to be a narc or whatever, because I think that a UUC 'swap rod' would be awesome.

I was in a position where not long ago where these weren't available. So I made my own.
We run a full engineering business and I made up 5 because the difference to NC machine 5 versus 1 was minimal.

Anyway, I made these to suit the G260 'box and AKG DTM shifter. The angle of twist is 10 degrees.



In this pic, L - R = my linkage (aka the BSSR - burkey super swap rod), the prototype to get the angle and length right and my old UUC one from my old M20.

These are made out of EN36 high tensile steel. This is tough, hardened tool steel. I haven't plated the other 4 but they will be yellow zinc plated if needed.

I also made up a bunch of 316SS connecting pins.

Not cutting anyones lunch, but I have 4 here as of right now :)

If only UUC Rob made these 6 months ago I could have saved myself so much time!

dssr

..just saw this!..


...had spoken to Rob about this a few mos ago...he just needed to know the length of my sel rod, as they vary on these set ups it seems.


Im very intrstd... I have a z3 1.9 set up...and still my lateral movt is waaay to much for a track car...

time frame?...oops I see you say 2 weeks....

how will this be done?... Im wondering if the same TWIST to every DSSR will work on every 26o set up?...Im assuming every1 gets the same "twist"...

[Spitfi-r]

Add me to the list too....
Thanks

[lumbergh17]

I'll take one.

[ayemattyyy]

You could probably put me down for two, as I would have an extra for a swap down the road. Or, sell to a member that wasn't here to get one when this is running.

[LuckyHenriksen]

I would definitely be interested in one of these
