What about shifters?

FAQ's
Here it gets really complex, there were a number of styles and MAME is not always accurate, so you can't give a one-size-fits-all description. Take the standard HI-LO 2-position shifter, as used in Pole Position: The actual shifter used a single microswitch, which was closed when the shifter was in HI position and open when the shifter was in LO position. The shifter was spring loaded so that it remained in whatever gear it was set for.

How do shifters change?

Guilty Pleasures
According to the books, their skin rolls like water, bones popping and reknitting, and in a rush of thick hot clear fluid they emerge into their shape (be it man, half-man or full animal). A rare gift among strong Alpha's is the ability to call another's beast. This can be done with the results of a normal change. Or as a disciplinary action they can litterally rip the beast from the lesser's body, in an explosion of flesh and thick fluid. this however is usually a disciplinary use.

How do shifters heal extreme damage?

Guilty Pleasures
Usually shifting can help, but other times it takes the warmth of the pack to heal the wounds. When healing their temperatures spike, and it can be deadly to put them in cold water. The touch of pack is both comforting and healing... its the essence of home, and has alot of power in and of itself, that few can direct, and none can really control..

What kind of shifters should I use for touring?

Frequently Asked Questions
The most commonly used shifters for touring are STI (and its non-Shimano variants), a combined brake/shift integrated level, and bar-end shifters, although some tourers still use downtube shifters. STI has the advantage of convenience for folks who ride with hands on the brake hoods, where the shifter is conveniently available. A disadvantage is that it is more complicated mechanically, limited to index shifting only, and has more limited gearing option compatibility.

Who makes aftermarket shifters for C5's? Are there any problems?

Jake Latham's 1997 Z51 Corvette - C5 Frequently Asked Questi...
The Hurst shifter seems to be the most popular.... It does get some associated vibration or rattle that folks have cured in various ways - some with chopped off tennis balls, others by installing a heavier shift-knob to help absorb the vibration. Adjustable many different ways for angle/direction. Wedge included to tilt towards driver. Seems as well- liked as the Hurst.

Is Shifters based on WhiteWolf's World of Darkness series Werewolf: The Apocalypse?

Shifters: The Beast Within by Marie Tary and James Strocel -...
NO. Shifters is NOT based in WW WOD W:tA. To be honest, although I've heard of it, and even played it once or twice at conventions, I've never actually sat down and read the books. I know from others who have that W:tA basically appropriated most traditional werewolf mythos and spun it all into such a yarn that now anything remotely drawing on traditional werewolf legends is pretty much instantly branded a WOD rip-off.

So if you wanna do something a little perverted, go ahead, and please send it to me.

Did TH400 trannies ever come with T-handle shifters in any Firebirds?

FGF: F.A.Q.s - Consoles and Compontents
Yes, the 67 400/400 has a T handle for the automatic. As far as I know the handles were the same for all 67 automatics ( T handle with the "button" above/inside the T). In 68 they went to a T handle with the "button" that sort-off wraps around the top and sides for the automatic.

Why does Serato Pitch 'n Time Pro work better than other time and pitch shifters?

Serato · Products · Pitch 'n Time Pro ·...
The answer is simple. Up until now researchers have looked at the problem of time stretching as a mathematical one, and applied objective mathematical techniques to the problem. They've failed, because they haven't properly defined what they're trying to solve. It may seem obvious, but the perfect time stretch is one where the output sounds the same as the input, just faster or slower.
