Racing Transmission Shifters

Even though shifters on manual and automatic transmissions bear the same name, they carry out slightly different functions. While in the case of a manual gearbox the shifter actually works as a lever that shifts gears inside the assembly to change gear ratios, automatic transmission shifters are used for selecting modes of gearbox operation. In both cases, the shifter must be lightweight but durable enough to withstand the rigors of the hard racing environment. On the digital shelves of our online store, you can find a huge assortment of meticulously designed and precision-machined racing transmission shifters by some of the most well-recognized manufacturers in the field.

There are manual gearboxes that feature traditional, H-shaped shifting patterns and those having a sequential construction. Each of these types uses different kinds of shifters. The main disadvantage of the traditional synchromesh transmission is the need to use a clutch each time you need to change gear. Another drawback is the possibility of mis-shifting when you put on one gear instead of another. A sudden downshift may even result in a catastrophic engine failure. The problem is eliminated in sequential transmissions where you can shift one gear up or down at a time. What is even better, you don’t even need to step on the clutch each time you shift gears. You just let it go at the startup.

No matter which type of racing you prefer, if you need a quality built, high-performance manual or automatic shifter for aggressive driving, you have come to the right place. We carry all kinds of shift levers, tap shifters, hybrid and custom shifters, and related accessories and parts, such as springs, sensors, counterweights, stops, rod ends, gate plates, cables, mounts, brackets, and much more. Our racing shifters may offer much stiffer shift feel than their stock analogs due to more resilient springs. It prevents levers from popping out of gears during extreme off-road driving. Besides, these shifters look great thanks to modern, high-quality paints and coatings.
