Short shifter whats good??

[sushiming]

hey guys i've really been thinking about a short shifter as I was in my mates R33 GTR and its had a short shifter init but not sue what and man it feels good nice a stiff and it does what its called really short....
can anyone point me in the direction of which one i should look out for and are they hard to fit at all??

 

[S15R]

hmmm C's Short Shifter is pretty good , very tight

they are not hard to install, but remember to grease everywhere u can

 

[sushiming]

what the price range??...

 

[S15R]

C's is around 330~400AUD,
oh yeah, nismo made them aswell for s15, but not much shorter

 

[sushiming]

Yeh I was told by my frd that the nismo one wasnt really that good...compared to others

Do these shortshifters add stress to the gearbox. Or are they a safe mod to carry out?

They've got nice short movements between gears, but the ones I've heard fitted make the gearbox quite noisy(er).

 

[S15R]

yes, C's short shifter will increase the noise level especially high rpms, the aluminium spacer below the ball socket was to blame

few ppl said that the short shifter will harm the gbox due to forced into gears, personally i dont think it will.

FYI: if you are a girl, don't bother getting it, :hurl:

Having driven a mate's 14a with one, I love the short movement, but couldn't live with the noise.

 

[S15R]

well, mine is ok, as long as i switch the aircond "OFF" then its ok, somehow when its "ON" the noise comes back :indiff:

How is the shifting?
How big are the chances of putting the wrong gear in

when i first got it, very easy to put into the wrong gear.

about the shifting, it feels tight!, anyone here driven a S2000 before will know what im talking about

much shorter throw and very easy to drive aswell

worth buying :notworthy:

B&M are meant to be good, i know Apex have them for the S14, would these fit??

I fitted a shortshifter kit to my 306, felt great, and like S15R says you do miss gears to start with but once you get the hang if it they are good. But my 306 was like stirring soup before i fitted it, i didnt think the S15 was bad for throw??

 

[kieran]

nope the s14 b&m dont fit............anyone wanting to try to make sure i have one here you can buy :rant:

i should never have doubted bren lol :notworthy:

i promise i will never do it again

Its a different gearbox, so I'd have been more surprised if it HAD fit.

old times

i know in the old days we use to modify the standard shifter, it was pretty crude and i dont know if i would do it to a s15 but we basically use to cut the shifter down and put a screw thread back on the top of the bar to put the shifter knob back on..... as i say pretty crude but it did the job an my mk2 escort
