boonman Posted August 19, 2003 Report Share Posted August 19, 2003 Alright folks. I finally took the time this go 'round to snap a couple pics of a (factory) shift star on it's way to becoming a "boonman special" star!! Here is a stock star, in all it's glory. And here it is, in it's "modded" state of affairs...... And here is the illustrious neutral backcut... I apologize for the crappy pic on the backcut, but my camera's macro function sucks ass. But you can make out the relief that is there.... If you wish to have your factory star become a "boonie special", y'all know how to get ahold of me.....

'99350t Posted August 20, 2003 Report Share Posted August 20, 2003 looks good boonman. can't you just do that with a dremel and a bench grinder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boonman Posted August 21, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2003 looks good boonman. can't you just do that with a dremel and a bench grinder? If you are so inclined, and have an extremely steady hand. But, if you frig up the radius on the neutral detent, it will be an even more major PITA to find neutral...... The choice is yours..... And yes, a bench grinder can be used. But, make sure everything is square when you round the corners. if they are angled, this will make the cam bearing that rides on the star walk around side to side, and will provide you with premature wear on it's pivot point.....

Justintoxicated Posted October 21, 2003 Report Share Posted October 21, 2003 nice pics I always wondered what the hell people were talking about Doe sthis make all shifting easier or just finding neutral? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boonman Posted October 21, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2003 It does both. It makes shifting between gears easier, with less missed shifts, and with the neutral backcut, it makes neutral easier to find as well..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chase73 Posted October 22, 2003 Report Share Posted October 22, 2003 You have to take into consideration shipping .I know a new shift star allready done is like 40.00 so how much to have you do it ???? I have a grinder but , I would rather let you do it seeing how you must have a template and some practice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SICK BOY Posted October 29, 2003 Report Share Posted October 29, 2003 Boonman did my shift star last week and it looks great.As for the time it took he got it on Monday morning and had it shipped back out to me that night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the same holds true with the other small mods I can do. Prices include shipping within the US. continental...... unless you live in some outlandish area, I don't mind spending an extra dollar or two to get it back to ya....
