There's also this one:

which I'm waiting on. Thread about it on SELOC.

^ isn’t that one for small platform models?

[hamza]

Nope, works in Exige V6. Will need a different handbrake to work in the Evora but I've already volunteered to be a guinea pig to fit one in mine.

Ah cool. @manuel.400 was also working on a Dolomiti unit for Evora but I think ETA is next year 

[manuel.400]

Ciao,

yes Evora kit will be a 2023 winter project, maybe available on 2024 but nothing confirmed until now.

I'd love a Dolomiti one too.

Someone take my money and give me a nice shifter please

Are these shifters better than the 4XX shifter or only an improvement on the S1 shifter? 
 

I’m very happy with the 4XX shifter’s performance on my S1 NA Evora.

[r3nault]

I’m told by SSC that 4xx is about as good as it gets, so wouldn’t bother with an aftermarket unit if you’ve already got it!

In the video it looks to be quite a distance from the steering wheel and when it is in 1st, 3rd, 5th he seems to be stretching forward to reach it.

There is a v2.0 of this shifter coming soon, at a better price. I’ve placed a deposit 😁

The InoKinetic website is updated with this news in the Elise/Exige transmission section, but I’ve been in contact and they’ve confirmed Evora versions are also part of the upgrade project. It’s expected that deliveries will commence in around 12 weeks.

JayEmm's verdict on my gearbox has confirmed what I’d been trying to ignore, the short shift kit hasn’t done anything for the sloppiness in the gear lever mechanism itself. Looking forward to getting this in the car, but sadly it looks like it won’t be in time for our trip to Scotland in September…

Wasn't aware it is possible to fit the later shifters into the S1 Evora. Any details on what is involved to do that or what it costs?

Are the 4xx shifters the same as in the Exige 410/350? If so I'd be pretty happy with that

Mine was done by the fantastic folks at ES Motorsport.  Give them a phone call and say Jai sent you.  I think mine was the first 4XX shifter to S1 swap they had done.   They were not sure if it was possible either and had to look into it.  I think in the end it was a relatively easy straight swap.  I got a new shifting mechanism and new gear cables plus some other bit and bobs like new brackets and bolts etc to make it all fit.

I think the 4XX Evora's use the same shifter as the newer ones in Exige with the exposed linkage and possibly the same one as in the Emira.   Certainly mine looks very similar if not the same.  It's a shame it's hidden away in the centre console.

Don't know exactly what I paid as I was getting a whole bunch of other work done at the same so there might have been some savings as the car was already dismantled etc and it was a while a go now ...  I might be WAY off on the price so please give ES Motorsport a call and check in with them.

It transformed the feel of the shifter straight away, much more positive and sturdy feeling.  Still can't rush the box but changes are significantly more accurate and makes a great mechanical noise.

Thanks, that's helpful.

I can certainly rush the changes on my 410...so maybe its not quite the same? I will have a dig into it.

Maybe I'm just more of a ham fisted gorilla than you?  😄
