To those that have their Z's or have driven one, what does the shifter feel like? Is it a cable or rod shifter? To those here who have driven or drive an Integra, how does it feel compared to that?

97 Integra GSR Black

02 350z Track Black (In my Dreams.....)

 

I drove a type R the other day, CLUTCH and Shifter were UNBELIEVABLELY smooth. Catching point is a little high, but you get used to it fairly quickly. In comparrison to the Z, the shifter does not have as a "smooth" feel as compared to the Type R... The Type R was just so effortless...the Z requires a little more effort imo.

 

The Z has direct linkage to the transmission, compared with longer connections required for a FWD car. I like the feel of the Z's linkage. You do get some shifter vibration because of the lack of isolation, but that is a small price to pay. I think one article I read described the shifter on the Z similar to a bolt action rifle. Not a bad way to describe it

Never driven an Integra, though.
