GuideWave System

  • GuideWave™ is recommended for use in off-road and competition settings. Please consult your local authorities to determine suitability for on-road use.

  • Yes, when fitted to the standard gearbox housing , and compatible with the factory shift mechanism.

  • No, The shift and lift knobs are designed to work together as a set. This facilitates optimum tolerances and ergonomics in operation. Therefore aftermarket shift knobs are not supported and invalidate all warranties.

  • No. It is designed to optimise shifting pathways especially across gates, while maintaining a lever throw that gives superb driver feedback together with gear position clarity when in the heat of battle. The GuideWave™ shifter gives you confidence to shift fast without missing a gear causing potential disaster.

  • No... quite the contrary! The shifter is designed to eliminate damaging miss shifts together with shift stops to mitigate internal gearbox and or cable damage .The shift lever has an optimised throw length for excellent driver feedback and facilitate co-ordination of shifting both hand and clutch foot together.

  • Yes. There are a couple of differences that are very intuitive. Both first and reverse gears are locked out until the lift collar is lifted. Locking out first means when the lever is pushed forward from second the GuideWave™ will guide the shift lever into third. This shift is also guided from 5th to 4th gear during down shifts. Please view our video for demonstration of operation.
