Easiest answer is you can get from forward to reverse in a quick single motion. This can get you out of trouble hill climbing and really helps with tight trails where you may have to make 3 point turns.I’m seeing a few people have changed out the factory shift gate to an H pattern one. What is the advantage to doing that?

I‘m diggin the shifter handle there. Do you have any pictures of it from the side? Where did you get it?Makes shifting much easier IMO. Ability to throw in reverse quick is huge plus.

I got it off Amazon for about 15 bucks. Cut the shaft down a bit-didnt like how high it was. Much better feel and now right heightI‘m diggin the shifter handle there. Do you have any pictures of it from the side? Where did you get it?
Are you supposed to keep those spacers? I threw them out and just bolted it on lolI just installed mine today. Other then loosing one of those goofy spacers that are in the OEM plastic one (I didn’t even know about them) to the depths of the skid plate, it goes in fine.
P.S if I ever see the guy that’s responsible for over tightening the the screws on our machines, he’s going to get an ear full! I had to drill out two screw heads due to over tightened. 😡
Yep, I ran into that when I took off the lower panels to put the nerf bars on. Almost have to have an impact driver for every phillips screw head on this thing!I just installed mine today.

Not that I know of. The spacers are there because the OEM shift gate is plastic, and the jackhammer Phillips screw guy would crush it without themAre you supposed to keep those spacers? I threw them out and just bolted it on lol
I even tried using my screw extractor (the kind you use with a hammer) with no luck. I first ran into this issue when trying to add nerf bars and I wound up having to drill out like half the screws holding the side panels on. I ordered a bunch of spare screws so I have them on hand.Yep, I ran into that when I took off the lower panels to put the nerf bars on.

I just installed mine the other day and didnt know about those spacers either...until I heard the "clink, clink, tink" sound...lol. I didnt worry about them since the new gate is metal...just bolted it down.Are you supposed to keep those spacers? I threw them out and just bolted it on lol
