He can do just about anything. Do a search for whalen and you'll see a lot of his work here on NAM.

Here is a gallery of some of his work. http://thewhalenshiftmachine.shutter...AYtWbNq4btWLjo

Very cool.

I am still loving my new shifter and could never go back to a round **** but that just my personal taste. The good thing is Doug has so many styles that you will find the one to fit your personal style

Seems he has a new **** ever week lol

Doug how about matching brake levers?

Good eye!

I just miked that ball, and it's actually 1.995" diameter.

I turned that ball into a shift **** just for fun. It was originally the result of my testing out my CNC lathe program, when I was gearing up to make a few stainless steel *****.

I also made a few black Delrin ones, and some brass ones.

Doug--

Go figure after 3yrs people are still wanting the brake lever made. Well, if you ever decide to, put me on the list

Can't wait for my shift **** to get delivered. It was good talking to you the other day.

Thanks

Anybody got a pic of an OEM English Oak shift ****?? I was trying to hunt down one of these ***** at the dealership the other day and they said they had gotten none in...at least among the dealer spec cars!!!

I'm hoping to have one installed on my Cooper.

Doug--

I got the **** over the weekend. It's awesome! I find myself shifting a little more presicely. I feel myself pulling back into the gates instead of pulling up and back as like I was with the stock ball **** (a habit I picked up with the ball style ****).

thanks

No threads. Here is a photo of the R56 lever. The R53 is similar.

Hey, I have a question. Does anyone make aftermarket shiftlever gates like in a Ferrari, or Lamborghini? I would love something like this, with one of Whalen's ***** of course.

Closest thing I have seen is the craven shift well cover.
