Any concerns on that? I've had my Z on plenty of dusty dirt/gravel roads in the past. No longer my DD, so probably not as much of a concern in the future, but I certainly wouldn't want debris getting up into the shifter assembly. Is the coolerworx assembly better protected from the stock assembly such that the dust boot isn't necessary?

Thanks for the feedback guys. Removed the linkage dust boot today which was the main source of vibration.



I was referring to the linkage boot that sits underneath the car. Even with this removed, there is an additional rubber piece that sits around the shaft of the shifter. So I don't see the potential of dirt/debris making its way into your cabin. (refer to NorthStyle's photo):

Still getting another buzzing sound as revs climb in 2nd and 3rd gear. Next up, I'm guessing it's either the position of the red plate (that holds the rubber boot inside the cabin) or the lateral adjustment screws of for the reverse lockout.



Initial impressions - Definitely more on the expensive side in terms of short shifters. And it's a bit finicky when it comes down to installation/adjustment. But I'm not sure if there's anything for the 370Z platform that can give you the same "clunk" into gear feeling as this.

Let me know if you find out where the high rpm buzzing is coming from. Mine does the same and it seemed to me it might be coming from the inner cable vibrating against the outer cable on the reverse lockout.

Is there a metal on metal slapping sound when shifting?

I'll tighten it up and report back. Still buzzing in 3rd gear though but I'm starting to think that this may be something I'll have to get used to over time.

Not sure if it's due to the cable. Looks and feels just like a bicycle brake/shift cable which should fit pretty snug in the housing. But at the same time, I'm also running a JWT lightweight flywheel so my transmission already makes all sorts of crazy noises.



Not that I'm aware of. I'll see if I can take a video later today to show what I'm experiencing.

When mine would make the buzzing noise I would move the cable around and it would quit but then come back as soon as I released the cable. Inexpensive bike cables don't have a coating on the inner cable so they don't fit real tight in the housing. It's metal on metal.

Maybe we can get SOHO to chime in on this issue.
