whats a real good short shifter for 07 08 z

 

hmmm i had one of those once and i hated it.

 

I'm looking to put one in on my 07. What kind of SS did you have? What did you not like about it? As far as brands go the B&M SS is the most available.

 

How much shorter do you need? Have you driven a stick in a car besides the Z? A short shifter in anything else gets it back to the throw length on our cars. Haha.

 

the only one that i have heard abut that was actually worth buying was the stillen short shifter

 

i used STILLEN short throw shifter, i like it. other like B&M i heard is making noise.
get STILLEN or NISMO.

 

I got one, and I like it

 

got which one ?

 

I don't remember what brand name, but it did belong to a friend who didn't like it. I think the brand name started with an "R" if that sounds right. It's a 2 piece design. I know people would vote against the 2 piece designs, but mine was free. My only complaint about it is that my shift **** twist around some. Other then that I like the feel, and it was free. Hope that helps.

 

i like how it the shifter has a nice stiff feel, i used to have a gti vr6 and a honda crx, and those were real loose feeling, but geez sometimes when im shifting i feel like im driving a ford ranger that's stick, it bugs me sometimes so i was really considering it plus its not that expensive from what ive heard

 

I don't think the shifting is any stiffer then stock with a short shifter. I do believe that shifting is more direct, and slightly smoother then stock. The stock shifter felt good way better then my previous car (99 GSX). I don't feel I gained much over the stock shifter other then feel and throw. The only thing I want to try maybe is some solid shifter bushings. I had them on my GSX and like them allot. I don't think the Z needs them, but if they were available I'd give them a try.

I love my shifts firm and solid.

 

you probably had the rougue engineering ssk

 

That's the one. Thanks

 

Stop with the short shifter nonsense. Having been a member for a year you should be familiar with the "Mods that I regret" thread.

 

i have the stillen short shifter and its very notchy... but i do like it that way.. to each there own.. some people will hate it and the others will like it or think whatevers of it...

 

i had a topspeed and a b and m. the b and m wasn't to bad but it was just noisy and rattled. the topspeed was just a pos.

 

no problem!

 

Seriously, leave it stock. Consider yourself warned =)

 

please elaborate

 

Stock is short enough.. learn how to drive it or get a fancy shift ****
