Slickshift on a Puma?
I had read that the Puma box doesn’t benefit from a slickshift, is this the case? The reason I wanted to fit it was to reduce the throw as I can’t get my coffee out when cruising in 6th. First world problems eh?!

Fitted mine 3 weeks ago it definitely shortens the throw, it is also a little closer, love it !

They quote 30 min to fit. How long did it take and how straightforward?

Really fancy a slick shift
Could this be fitted by a novice/learner or is some technical expertise required?

Thanks

I wasn’t sure when I fitted mine so asked a nearby forum member who had fitted one if he could assist which he kindly did (thanks Roy) it isn’t difficult to be honest Thumbs Up
I’m sure there is a video on YouTube ref fitting one 2015 HT XS 90

Lots of tape and grease and good amount of locktite .. bit over top but some have spot welded the two bits together to prevent them coming loose

I went for the shift R looked easier to fit on the videos

Likewise, I prefer the Shift-R version ... Easier to fit and no need to 'tinker' with excess grease or gluing bits to prevent rattles [or bits coming loose!]

Driven vehicles with both versions ... both do exactly the same job Thumbs Up Guns and Landrovers .... anything else is irrelevant.
