short shifter advice

[craigjj828]

So I have an ebay short shifter on and its kinda making it abit tight into gears is there any short shifters that are good or better quality that people use and can recommend

[pointz]

Im interested in this too!

Mine has always been a pita especially trying to do a quarter mile a pod.

[craigjj828]

I feel your pain pointz trying to bang through the box just doesn't happen . Someone must have found a better one

I have a B&M one and its fine, obviously more effort than standard since you're taking away the levering force but I wouldn't say its difficult to push into gear.

the metal shifter bushes that GKTech do are worth investing in i hear, a friend swears by his since changing from the old plastic one

[craigjj828]

I changed back to the plastic bush which did improve the issue

I've just got a generic ebay one, same as what apex and japspeed sell, and its mint on mine, i run it with a solid shifter bush and a extended zilla gearknob and its fine to bash through the gears, in fact i ****ing love it lol.

I had issues with my short shifter when I first installed it, switched to a poly gearbox mount and it greatly improved.
If the box is flopping all over the place when you're trying to change gears it's going to make it hard to find the cog you're looking for.

that makes sense I can tell the box is moving a fair bit when I go for it . Al defo look into a new mount for the gearbox anyone else got any suggestions this seems to be a pretty common issues

B&M short shifter FTW!

When did you last change your gearbox oil?

As said though I also noticed a big difference when changing engine and gearbox mounts

[craigjj828]

Am looking at gearbox mounts now anyone recommend a good brand am sick of buying crap

[polcastrol]

Nismo mounts are good quality.

[Actual_Ben_Taylor]

Vibra Technics mounts are some of the best available

[pointz]

I'm running apex race mounts so may give the solid bush a try!

I'm running an Apex Mount, just as it was cheaper

Engine and gearbox?
It should move around that much with those mounts on.

[craigjj828]

Found the nismo gearbox mount for 49 pound does that sound about right ?
