I hand machined my own brass shift ****. It is most likely around 2-3 pounds. Can this cause damage to my manual tranny?

Thanks

I doubt it since the shifter is remote. I guess if it tried to shift on its own under hard acceleration due to the weight could cause issues. It does sound heavy though.

i was always told stuff like that is hard on the shift fork.. kinda like in pickups/1 ton trucks with manuals, guys rest their hand on the shifter while driving it puts pressure on the shift fork causing it to keep pressure on the gear causing it to ware and get sloppy faster

2-3 pounds?? Is it the size of a baseball?

I hope it's not bad to rest your hand on the shifter, because I do it all the time...

I was able to cut the weight of the **** in half. I put it back on my lathe and bored out some areas and put a longer bevel on it. It should be safe now.

I have a stock stainless ****, How much does that particular stocker weigh in at?

please see my profile, view picture album to see the finished ****. I am guessing it is just under a pound.
