- Adding the Hybrid Racing shifter as the final piece in my B series EK shift linkage upgrade puzzle, with this video I go in depth showing all available adjustments and features. Is it worth it?
The perfect showpiece to act as the finishing touch for this part of the series, the Hybrid Racing shifter is a well manufactured piece of equipment that definitely does not lack in detail. Though, the high price point may scare some buyers off, in this video you will find everything you need to know as to why it is rated so highly and costs so much.
The most unique feature of this shifter, the lower shaft slides up and down, effectively moving the pivot location and lengthening or shortening the throw of your shifter. As in, the distance between gears at the shift knob can be closer or further apart. This, coupled with the upper section being additionally, independently adjustable from the lower, allows you to set the perfect shifter height without reducing or adding too much gear-to-gear distance to keep every shift precise.
Additionally, extra mount holes and spherical bearing instead of a bushing allow for maximum smoothness and precision. This shifter ALSO fits D-series linkages! Be sure to watch the entire video as I cover every feature in detail!

I didn't catch you covering "is it worth the price".. did I miss that part?
Sorry about that! I was going to do a follow up video about the shifter and linkage as it all goes together but things got messy and I ran into some troubles. However, the shifter itself is great although I feel it’s a bit gimmicky in the sense of how it’s adjustable. Sure you can set your shifter height but realistically you can achieve perfect shifter throw with something cheaper like the a fast line performance shifter instead. With that being said, the spherical joint is great for eliminating what little amount of play lies in the original ball socket of the oem style shifter. However, the b series shifter linkage as a whole is just a loose mess no matter what you really do and this shifter will not fix that.
@@coryinmotion Fantastic reply, thank you sir!
@@ArthurSperotto no problem, thanks for watching the video!
