I have never heard of breaking in a short shifter!?! But hey if its true good deal. I want one but I need to test someone elses out first. Maybe one day I could test out Dreamers ss. I have loved having a ss on my past cars.

One other note -- The B&M is noticeably better isolated than the OEM shifter and vibrates much less under acceleration. There's still enough vibration there to feel the car working, but it's much less alarming. Coupled with the exhaust note from the GReddy, I've tackled the "N" and "V" parts of the NVH problem. And, for the life of me, I'm not sure what the naysayers are talking about with the "H" part of that equation. JB -- if I see you out at a meet or drive around town in the near future, perhaps we can trade cars for an hour or so and you can test out my shifter.

Anyone heard of KGS Engineering?
KGS Racing - 2009-2010 Nissan 370Z Short Shifter - At KGS Engineering $75 You usually get what you pay for but I can't imagine a short throw shifter taking an enermous amount of engineering to get right? |

maybe i am just too rough on cars, but back in the Honda days i broke plenty of cheapy aluminum as well as the "better" DC Sports ones. Also snapped off one of the aluminum B&M shifters on a MKIV Supra. I usually don't like a short throw in most cars anyway, but if i do i stick w/ the steel construction.
