Coolerworx Shifter Assembly (Dealers)

Theoretically, yes. But unless someone's transmission (and possibly engine and differential) mounts have that much play in them, I don't foresee it adding too much stress.

Hate to revive an old thread, but I just installed my Coolerworx shifter last week with the revised V2 plate that's designed for the 370z. No need to drill any holes! Although I do recommend purchasing new M6 bolts as the OEM bolts will only hold the mounting plate in place by 3 or so threads.

One issue that I did run into - the rubber dust boot that covers the linkage underneath the car will not remain in place, as it is originally held up by the shifter bracket/brace that is removed when the Coolerworx unit is installed.

I started feeling vibration in 2nd gear but it eventually smoothed out as I crawled to a stop. This was from the dust boot dangling freely and dragging itself against the driveshaft.

@NorthStyle - Not sure if you ran into this issue as well. But I looked at your photos and it looks like you re-installed the linkage but chose to not install the dust boot cover?

Okay so just ran to home depot and bought both m6 10x25mm bolts and m6 10x20 mm bolts

Which is better to run instead of the oem for the shifter plate?
