P1000 New Pioneer 1000 shifter plate

[highpocket74]

With the success of my Talon shifter plates, I am currently working on a design for the P1000. The Talon and P1000 shifter plates are not exactly the same but similar. I've worked up a design, sent to my fab guys and now waiting on a proof to check fit and function before making a batch.

The new plate will make P1000 shifting quicker and more accurate like my Talon shifter plate does. The 4x4 mode shifter works fine so I've only made slight unnoticeable tweaks to it. Pics will be posted when the production run starts, and I'll open on my website for pre orders at that time. Follow this thread for more information as development progresses.

After a few minor delays, I was finally able to check the second test plate yesterday. It works perfectly! So today I am ordering 8 made to begin with, powder coated textured black from my local fab shop and expecting to ship the week of March 29.

I'll open for pre-orders if anyone is interested.

I am interested, have a price range in mind? Will it have shifter slot insulation to keep wind from blowing through?

Listing in my store for $55 plus $4 first class shipping.
I do not have a wind stop for the plate. However the open area is smaller than the OEM plate.
These plates are laser CNC cut from 1/4" 5052 aluminum and powder coated. They will never rust.

Your site says 17’-21’ is there a reason not for a 16’?

'16 is included. I must have searched for '17 parts and the list did not show older than that. I'll correct that on website.

I’m interested also! Do you by chance have a installation video? Just curious how to get that in where it belongs. By the way this thing looks awesome! Well done

I haven’t even had time to write any installation instructions yet but the process is considerably more involved than the Talon shifter plate install. My father-in-law and I have now removed and replaced the shifter plate 3 times to check everything out and Sunday we set a new record. The whole dash has to come out at least past the shifter levers to get the new plate installed. It sounds worse than it is though. Yesterday we had the dash removed and new plate installed in 10 mins, then about 15 minutes to put all the dash back together. Our test Pioneer had a windshield which made it more difficult.



Here are the basic steps:

Remove the hood.

Detach the dash from the front plastic with 2 screws and 6 snap rivets.

Disconnect the 3 electrical connectors for dash switches that are near the battery, plus the connector for the speedometer display. (without a windshield you may get by without having to disconnect all of these, see step 7)

Now moving inside the cab remove all the dash snap rivets and 4 screw along the perimeter and 2 screws near the shifter plate.

Remove both shifter knobs.

Remove the tilt steering rubber seal and lower plastic cowling.

We did not try this but it may work without a windshield, lift the dash up over the steering wheel and shift levers.

With a windshield like we had, we actually had to remove the 2 pivot bolts for the tilt steering to allow the steering column to drop for dash removal.

With the dash removed, remove the 3 screws and OEM shifter plate.

Screw the new plate in place and reverse the order for plastic reinstall.

If you need to adjust your shift cable, there is a small access port located under the battery tray. Loosen the cable lock nuts and adjust the cable play to where the free play travel is centered on the neutral notch. This is where the calibration marks come in handy.

Hey there friend, thank you much. I’ve installed a ice crusher heater and that required the front removal, it wasn’t bad but would have been much easier before I installed second battery and all switches. This doesn’t sound to bad and I think it will be well worth it. I think this could be used in conjunction with Montana shift plate to and a little protection from the wind.

A customer pointed out to me that the P1000 LE with i4WD has a different 4x4 selector gate. After checking internet photos I did confirm that the gate is different even though every model 1000 on honda oem parts diagrams list the exact same part number. So I have created a plate for the 1000 LE with i4WD. I"ll have to find a local LE model to test fit.

Good looking part and the drawing descriptions seem like they would be nice design features to add.

I've always dreaded pulling the dash apart but this would likely make it worth it.

Picking up the first production batch of P1000 black shifter plates tomorrow. I'll post some pics of the finished product tomorrow.

I ordered mine last night. I guess now this is going to make me fix some stuff I have put off for a long time while I'm at it!

 

[Isaiah]

I installed it yesterday! I don't have many miles on it yet but so far in loving it!

 

[HockeyDoc]

Please pardon my ignorance, but what does the plate do for the shifter?

Thanks

The plate changes the routing of the shift lever through the gear selection. The Honda shifter plate has a goofy shape that requires you to look at the shifter when shifting because you have to zigzag through the gears. My shifter plate streamlines the motion and you don’t have to look every time you want to shift. Plus my shifter plate provides stops for reverse and high so that shifting between those two gears is quick and accurate.

I used a local farmer to test the plate on his machine. Farmers aren’t into bling. They expect function. I left the working prototype on the Farmer’s P1000, not expecting any feedback. About 3 weeks into using my shifter plate he told me that it was much better than the Honda plate and should have come like that from Honda! After that I knew I had something that worked well.
