CABLE SHIFTERS FOR 205

offroadwerks · Nov 30, 2010

Anybody got advice on a cable shifter for GM 205 and how to twin stick one. Found one on Pirate from Northwest Fab. Any issues with twin sticking such as popping out of gear or anything. Thx

i ended up getting the cable shifters from North West Fab and they work good, no problems slipping out of gear or anything

Did you buy their shift rails too or did you modify your own?
Are the shifters/boot good quality?
Thx

Northwest Fab sells high quality shifters. I havent used mine yet, but they are nice. It took 4 weeks to get them i guess because they came from Canada. They didnt come with any instructions, but after about 30-45 mins of trial and error, I figured out how to install them. Figureing out how they attach to the t-case was the fun part. I will snap some pics this weekend for you.

I haven't had good luck with my northwest fab shifters

many broken cable ends requiring whole new cables
the way they attached to the shifters put them in a bind find a some better connections
mine were 1/4-20 ends on the cable and that just isn't enough for bangin on the shifters
I also had to make my own mount for the case side as theirs broke and flexed before the first trip out.

good idea but for the price I'm not satisfied.
