Whats the best Short Throw Shifter for the 370z?

kdo2milger · 08-11-2009, 05:41 PM

I am looking to get a short throw shifter and wanted to get some feedback and pics of before and after from those members that have one or know of one they like...

I have the B&M shifter and like it. It still does not feel as good as a TR3650 + Steeda Tri-Ax, though. Close, but not as good.

kdo2milger · 08-11-2009, 06:39 PM

I see that the most popular one seems to be the B&M's Precision Sport Shifter PN 45163...

but I am NOT paying 200.00 bucks thats just too much!

any others out there?

It's quite a bit shorter, especially if you go with an aftermarket knob.

That's what I paid from Stillen. I don't know who else sells it.

nice thanks, i'll check them out...

kdo2milger · 08-11-2009, 08:00 PM

stillen has it listed for 230.00

was it a group buy or a pm'd price?

theDreamer · 08-11-2009, 08:01 PM

If the Stillen price has gone up, I think it was a short deal, then check out Intense Power.

Good find!

Yeah, I bought it from Stillen when they had a pricing special going on.

I think it's worth the $179. Just bear in mind that you'll need file away a little bit of metal on the shifter-mount in order to allow the short-throw to engage reverse.

is that a known issue with b&m?

m4a1mustang · 08-12-2009, 06:04 AM

It's a requirement. If you don't file, you won't engage reverse. I'd imagine others would be the same?

nightfire · 08-12-2009, 08:29 AM

Are there any short shifters out there that don't change the height of the shifter and are just a linkage short shifter kit?
