Worst mod I've ever done... Topspeed/B&M short shifter
 

I know others have posted this before, but I would like to stress this. If you were thinking about buying these short shifters, DON'T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

These suckers literally sings as the engine rpm goes up... The noise level is beyond anybody's tolerance.. trust me.... These short shifters are not coated with rubber like the OEM, so it vibrates against other metals, and makes constant "THA~THA~THA~THA~" noise. I lived with this noise for 4 months and I couldn't handle it anymore... so I just replaced with other short shifter that's coated with rubber. Guess what? That terrible metal vibration noise is gone.

Which one did you go with? Im looking to get one myself.

Ya pleaze let us know cuz mine rattles like a mother and its drivin me insane...

The replacement I got seems to be new to the market. It's made by Revo technica or someting. I got it on ebay for $35... ;) No NOISE!

oh man. you guys shouldve just gotten mossy. its a modified stock shifter that has 33% shorter, 66% shorter, stock height or 33% taller.

i was wondering about this also. in my 98 civic i had a skunk2 short shifter, and i heard a few noises, nothing bad. until my exhaust pipe was basically touching the bottom of the shifter/linkage it would BUZZ AND RATTLE like crazy. i could use a firmer engagment feel...but dont really need a shorter throw.

Isn't that the "Nissan Motorsports" adjustable shifter

Depends on how you look at it. The guy who designed it used to work for Nissan Motorsports but then worked for Mossy after... (worked for Mossy when it was designed too)

short shifters suck

$250 for the mossy short shifter...thats retarded...our shifters are already relativly short

How is that retarded? Because its 4 way adjsutable once installed? Because it lowers the throw even more then out "already relatively short" shifts? Because its doesnt rattle or squeak like other short shifters? :rolleyes: No ones making you buy it. If you don't want don't buy it. Simple as that..

I have the Mossy adjustable and I loved it, until it started to rattle. Well, I can't say it's the shifter. I had my tranny replaced 3,000 miles ago and it seems that the rattling is coming from the area where the linkage connect to the tranny. The shifter itself is tight, and all parts are snug and there does not seem to be any loose components. When I accelerate, it is like a chain saw coming up from the shifter. I can feel the vibration and if I hold the shifter down (like in third gear, pressing it hard) then it seems to go away, but as soon as I let go... rattle, rattle, rattle. It looks like it's time for another trip to the stealership. :(

Thanks. I actually have the shifter on order from Performance Nissan. Eddie told me it has to come from Japan. Is this not true? Is this a USDM part?

one mod I've never even had the faintest need for is a short shift...I find the stock shifter to be among the nicest I've ever drive, second only to the one my S2k had

350evo rogue ftw

The adjustable shifter is made in Socal so I don't know whats coming from Japan.

Hmm on second thought Ill just stick with the stock shifter and shift knob. Ill Save my money for S-Tune suspension....

I had a B&M short shifter... What a nightmare. It wasn't loud at all... Engagement was much more difficult and I would miss 5th gear alot. The redesigned it a little with a larger block to hold it in the guide plate area but I still wouldn't recommend it. Actually... if you want one... Mine's still in the closet somewhere.

Wow--It amazes me how many folks hate the B&M. I figured out the proper way to install it and it's just excellent--short, quick, precise throws and almost totally silent except under hard throttle at certain RPMs--barely audible. It took me about 3-4 weeks to get used to the harder shift effort and now I much prefer it. There's no way I could go back to stock.

There's a trick to installing the B&M shifter to remove any slop or vibration that I explained in another one of my posts a few months ago.

the stock shifter is great, but if i was interested in getting a shorter shift, i'd get the mossy one. its amazing when i felt it. when i played with it it was on the 33% longer and it was butter smooth.
