Has anyone tried thses short shifter that is selling on ebay for $80-$95.

I want to know the quality and the fitment on these shifters. Any vibration issue. How is the quality vs B & M.

Also are these hard to install?

Your input is greatly appreciated.

buy the one from delubozparts...good seller

 

I bought from them last week for the 300ZX, I will let you know when it gets here what it is like, I couldn't turn it down for the price.

 

Well shipping was amazing, I bought it Wednesday afternoon and with Thanksgiving I still got it today, it looks good and well made, but have not installed it yet I am swapping the tranny this week so I should get it on there and see how it works.

 

Keep me posted. I just ordered on also. Let me know how hard its to install.

 

Just got my Short Shifter from ebay today and it seems like its good quality product. I can't wait till I put it on.

I bought it from pctrading888.

Looks like it is well made. And you can't beat that price. Keep us posted after you install it.

 

Yeah, I saw these a month or so ago...I was really close to picking one up but got scared.

Let us know how it goes...because it's a STEAL.

 

i'd b interested if u don't need to fab anything. with the b&m, i think u need to cut stuff.

 

yeah the place that installed mine said minor modification is needed...

 

What type of Modification was done?

I just installed mine over the week end and here are my thoughts & issues.

The install took about 1 1/2 hour. The toughest part was getting the shift **** removed. It was on really really tight so I had to use wrench and it tore up my shift ****. Luckly I had an extra shift **** which I bought from ebay few months ago.

Other than that, it was pretty simple.

Here are the issue I am having,

I hear a little rattling noise so I called Tony (AKA: WLD350Z) who was the first one to have B & M Short shifter on the Z amongst the Z owners because his first shifter from B & M had the same issues. He told me to loose the screw underneath the car. We will see what happens. The noise is not too bad. When you have a music on, you can't even hear it.


The other issue I am having is that the Guide plate is positioned little high so sometimes I can put it into reverse w/o pushing it down and sometimes I have to push it down. I think I need to make a minor adjustments.

Other than issues I mention, shifter feels great. Its worth $93 bucks and it also got rid of most of the knochiness on 2nd & 3rd gear.

Just caution: Take it easy when you are unscrewing the shift **** if its on too tight.

I'll post more updates.
