Suicide shift (Read 248 times)

Big Nix Junior Member Offline Screw dieing of natural causes. Posts: 51 Atlanta, GA Gender:	Suicide shift 02/28/09 at 19:19:09 Was just wondering if anybody had ever heard of somebody moding a savage to a suicide or jockey shift? Just found out I gotta have surgery on my left foot and would rather not go with out riding for the next 5 to 6 months. So if anybodys got any kind of input or ideas it would be greatly appreaciated. thanks Nix

Not sure how i'd do that but could pry make it work. Don't really even have a garage right now but could do some measureing and figuring. Thanks and keep the ideas comeing.

Is your foot going to be in a brace or too tender to shift? Also there are auto shifters that add a solenoid to pull the shifter up.

Looks he had forward controls and was shifting and braking with his RH foot. Would not be tooo difficult to operate the shifter from the RH side I gues.

I don't imagine that it would be all that hard to move the shifter too the right and just keep the clutch on the left. Just gonna have to look and get some ideas.

Pirty much just make an arm that would come up off where the linkage meets into the tranny.
