After discussing and seeing the 350EVO shifter .. I have no idea why you want to order the B&M.

In any event, here is a link to one of the lowest prices I have seen and a sponsor on this site. Perhaps others know of a better deal.

The shifter is a big part of the Z,s driving experience. When I see some people having problems and others not it rings a bell. I just want everyone to ignore the bad reviews on the B&M.

Let an experienced driveline specialist install your B&M shifters and you all will be even more excited when you go to drive your Z,s. I cant tell you what a difference this shifter makes in the driving experience.

I would look forward to driving my car before the new shifter but now its like having sex. Ill say it again. The B&M is the best shifter for our Z,s and I do not work for B&M.
But you sure do sound like you have an "interest" in the company.

i really like your shift ****. how much does it weigh compared to stock? i have a black nismo ball ****, but its very lightweight, and i think i'd like one with more weight to it.
Also, did you change the collar that the boot attaches to? It looks a lot smaller than mine.

Was going to order the shifter next week, but if we do a gb, I'd go for it.

Also, 350evo is coming out with their own shift ***** soon (hopefully this week). Keep an eye out for it.

Lastly, Rogue Engineering's site has some really good article's. One of them talks about shift **** weight and that too heavy of a **** can be just as detrimental to your tranny as leaving your hand on the shifter all the time!

uro, so what's too heavy? our stock one is not exactly light-weight.

Here's the link:

Although it's talking about BMW's, the principle applies to all vehicle's.

As for your question, I don't know what's too heavy, but I wouldn't go much more than stock.

If anything, I'd probably go lighter just to be on the safe side.

The shifter functions very similiarly to the factory shifter. Going into reverse feels the same.

I just ordered the 350 evo short shifter. I am very courious about the ball bearing action. I still love the B&M. But I might like BJs shifter better.

Great review I will give one as well as soon as I get the evo installed.


Quick Reply: Anyone try the 350EVO short shifter yet?
