I’ve searched far and wide both here and on SELOC but haven’t been able to find any clues as to what this shifter setup is. I purchased from the third owner and there’s no mention of it in any of the records/invoices I was supplied with at the time of sale. I’ve looked fairly thoroughly for any manufacturing stamps and there’s nothing on the shifter/riser. Maybe a limited run garage special from early on? The seller didn’t have a clue, and the previous/2nd owner sale listing (auf Deutsch) just said “track shifter” with no further info. It shifts wonderfully…just curious what I have here.
Also, a bit of a non sequitur but is it normal for the bulkhead panel behind the seats to have the relay/fuse access panel fastened by velcro? Seems unlikely but I feel like with it’s always a possibility with these cars…
The shifter looks like the standard shifter on a nicely made “ramp” to hold it much higher with the stick on backwards. Look at Elise’s parts “sports cables” for images of the oem arrangement.
Komotec in Germany sold this piece of art for raising the position of the shift gate. It went end-of-life years ago and I missed to buy one at that time.
Having never driven another S1 I can’t really compare, but I’ll say I never have trouble finding a gear – it really just clicks between with very positive feedback and no mush. Definitely doesn’t feel as though anything is flexing.
