Short Shifter

Appologies if this has been discussed to death before, but are the the short shift gear levers any good? worth while upgrade?

Only reason I ask is as the cars still stripped im thinking nows the time to replace it whiles its off the car.

I have a tomei shifter kit on mine & really like it.
Not really a major advantage but if do go for one buy a decent brand one.
Gear change can be improved with new bushes, spring & modding the rubber mount to solid.

Have heard the eBay blue ones can cause problems with syncros down the line is this true?

I have felt a few shorter shifters before and really didn't like them. A standard shifter with new bushes and spring is the best but that's just my opinion mate. Dodgy short shifters can make you miss gears and cause damage aswell

Ive put a new bush in and spring, making a rear solid mount to replace rubber one. I did buy a BM one years ago, never fitted it and later sold it on.

Might just 'stick' with the standard one then!

Cheers guys

In my first gtir we fit a bm short shifter and i found i would miss shift sometimes while spirited driving.
It was hard to get used to.

Yeah you definately dont want to be going from 2nd to first haha I have one on mine had it all the years I have had the R always wanted to remove it but never got around to it

I personally like the b&m short shifter, never miss shifted once with it but did a few times with the standard. Was a genuine b&m, not ebay

Do they still make the genuine b&m's for the R?

Mine was back in 2006 and was a genuine one.
My current pulsar feels very short when i shift gear. I havent checked to see if it has one on. I dont have any problems shifting this one

tomei shifter kit is best I ever used, B&M original is ok.
Technically they can work your syncros bit harder but I done 16 years driving & 50,000km on one & never had syncro issue & find the gear change perfection .
Like woody says though, new bushes & springs on standard shifter produces a nice change/feel ...

The standard shifter is best left at the standard length aswell. Don't go chopping it down

We're can we get standard spring and bushes from and are they an easy fit?

Hi guys I've replaced my linkage bush but still miss shift from 2nd to 3rd when I'm driving a bit hard any ideas thanks .... Oh and sorry didn't mean to hijack thread

Can you still get the Tomei Shifters Mr B?

Mine was mega easy as its off the car I got the bush off eBay, from canada. But when I got my polybush kit delivered for the whole car, there was one in that too, doh! I got the spring from Nissan, few quid I think.

I got it from this seller:

Prob be back for sale soon, possibly message him?

^ you can buy that polybush for about £7 if you hunt it down under sentra & nx
