I read on the forums that a short shifter can mess up ur tranny ( Jeremy )
I actually have the B&M Sh. sh. on my Z for like 2 years already, and i have syncro problems right now ( 2nd and 5th gear).
the question is : this is caused by the B&M or its just the tranny whos goin crazy
I can't understand how can a short shifter mess up a tranny .
so what do you guys think ?

Thanks !

 

anyone ???????????????????????????? :S:S:S

 

hmm can't say i have searched on it messing up the tranny. but i don't see how it would either. i run a b&m also with no problems. i rather like it. sorry if i can't help more but i don't think it will.

 

i have heard f them getting stuck

 

dood do yourself a favor and throw out that b&m, go buy a 350evo Rogue shifter.....trust me

 

i guess im goin to throw out the B&M and go back to the stock shifter

 

I don't know if it my B&M caused it but after I had it installed my 3rd gear syncro went out... So I took it off and had the tranny replaced...

almost all MT 03 - 04 Zs got Syncro problems...

 

The basic science behind a shifter dictates that a short shifter will put more strain in a tranny. For example, short shifters eat trannies in 240's like mad.

What the hell does anyone need a short shifter in the z for anyways?

 

I agree!







Anybody want to buy a Revo STS?

 

When I first got my Z I really needed to get a short shifter, because I had one on my Prelude and thought the Z had too long of a throw. I got the B&M and had it for a while, but after I pushed the car hard on a cruise and ground into 2nd like 5 times, I decided to set up a an appointment to get my tranny looked at ('03, under warranty). I removed my B&M so they wouldn't give me sh*t, and no 2nd gear grind. I actually liked the stock throw much better, so I sold the short throw right away, and canceled my stealership appointment.
