AJ SPEED SHIFT SYSTEM

TRANSWORKS IS PROUD TO BE A DEALER FOR THE AJ SPEED SHIFT SYSTEM, THE SLICKEST SHIFTING SYSTEM EVER INVENTED. IT CONVERTS ANY TYPE I VW, MENDEOLA MD4-E, OR MD4-2D TO A SEQUENTIAL SHIFT PATTERN, LIKE A MOTORCYCLE. IT IS A HYDRAULIC UNIT THAT IS ESPECIALLY NICE FOR MID ENGINE APPLICATIONS. ARE YOU TIRED OF PLAYING GO FISH FOR GEARS WITH AN AWKWARD MECHANICAL ROD OR CABLE SHIFT SYSTEM? NOW YOU CAN THROW ALL THAT AWAY AND INSTALL THE AJ SHIFTER UNIT WHEREVER YOU WANT. YOU SIMPLY RUN 2 HYDRAULIC LINES (STANDARD BRAKE TUBING WITH 1/8" FITTINGS) FROM THE SHIFTER UNIT TO THE CONVERTER UNIT, WHICH REPLACES THE STOCK NOSE CONE, AND YOU'RE READY TO ROLL WITH NO MORE HUNTING FOR GEARS. IF YOU LIKE THE SAND DRAGS, IMAGINE HOW QUICKLY AND EASILY IT WILL BE TO GRAB THE NEXT GEAR. YOU CAN PLUMB THE SYSTEM TO PUSH THE SHIFTER FORWARD TO SHIFT UP AND PULL BACK TO SHIFT DOWN, OR VICE VERSA, WHICHEVER YOU PREFER.

Be wary of anyone who SHOUTS AT YOU ALL THE TIME!!

Seriously, no shifter system will magically transform your internals into a true sequential transmission. While the shift pattern may be "sequential", the product is encouraging you to rush your shifts... so your transmission internals had better be modified with this in mind.

When a much higher grade product (push button on steering wheel, electronic servos, etc) was coupled to our Porsche Dog Box, it just didn't measure up to the performance of a true internal drum-operated sequential.

Hello I recently purchased a Trike with a type 2 VW engine and trans. I'm trying to figure a way to make it so I can shift with my foot. Would this shifter really be so bad for the transmission as stated and if so does anyone know of a way to accomplish this? the other thought I've had because having the shifter dead center of me while riding makes me nervous if I'm ever in an accident. thanks for any help you can provide.

I have seen the shifter, rod, and shifter box relocated to the "side" of the operator on a trike?? Never seen a "foot shift" trike that wasn't based on a motorcycle.
