Reviews of them have been good. I guess when they first came out they were having issues with the original cables breaking but changed sources.
I have to go cable (specifically their reverse cable version) rather than something like the atlas shifters since it is flipped and I have a Tummy tuck. The amount of space is pretty tight and talking to some of the double shifter makers none of them could recall having anyone buy a kit with the same configuration.
Yeah they are pricey for what they are but I figure some of the money spent will be worth the lack of frustation come installation time. If next spring is like this one was I figure I will be putting it in after the first WAC. If we get an early spring then I may have have it by Spring Fever. We shall see....
Right now other than the cable shifters to buy, I decided to look at picking up the Novak cover. Since it is thicker than the stock one in theory it should improve the structural integrity around the inspection hole since that is so damn big.
Well I got the last bolt out and was able to get the input and both output housings off. Interestingly the front output which also contains the shifting rods came out really easy compared to the first one. Matter of fact it was coming off before I even tried. Once I pulled the intermediate gears it made sense. The little bolts that hold the shift forks on the shift rods were not there. If this was like this when the case was being used, I could see it working but being finicky.
Right now all that is left is to press off the old bearings so I can pull out the shafts which I will probably do later this week and then clean up the case and paint it.
