cheap as hey, i got a feeling these wont last.

hey, but what do i know

Thats what i was thinking

i've been told to stay away from these, in theory it should be great but most of these short shift kits can damage the gearbox as the throw is fairly short out of the factory and has been designed for a reason with that throw, apparently there is only a few short throw kits of high quality and there the ones that cost a hell of alot of wedge for what they do, i'd say don't bother, just learn to shift quicker .....without crunching the gears in

Jamie I have a B&M one fitted to mine and quite frankly I wish I had not done it.

Next time you are down have a try of mine and see what you think.

PS mine cost $198.

ok... thanks guys:)

was going to say the b&m ones are meant to be of good quality and build but if this is the case .... feck that don't do it jamie

I bought a similar one from ebay about 2 years ago and it's been fine since then. The one I got only really moved the pivot point up the shaft by about 5mm and then shortened the stick itself. It is fine for changing gears, and also allows me to change CDs when in 1st, 3rd and 5th now.

Down side is that all the outer covers are now aluminium and they can get very hot in the sun, and can get very warm with hard driving due to the heat transfer from the gearbox.

Forgot to say that mine didn't come assembled and had no instructions so took a while of head scratching to figure out the correct method for assembly.

ok thanks but im not going to bother with one now:)

i got a BnM i think its really good nice sharp changes

Got to agree with Greg here. The B&M one on mine is horrible, its coming out asap. You're welcome to take it for a drive on Saturday, but guess you've got the message by now

yep i wont be fitting one:)

C's 6 Speed Short Throw Shifter

same here, no probs at all

Yeh - same here - no problems at all - love it as its either in gear or not.

But some people don't seem to like the 'notchy-ness'.

Jamie - try someones first - it seems this is a love or hate thing

I like the sound of Snick...Snick...Snick on short shifts.....ahhhhh Blissto!!!

So did you notice any difference from stock to B&M ?

Bad part, good part?

good part-much shorter more direct shift, faster

bad part-slightly more notchy, but not that bad at all

good part-much shorter more direct shift, faster

 

bad part-slightly more notchy, but not that bad at all

got to agree their

i like it

Cheers guys
