People drive with 2 hands while street driving? I gotta try that some time.
|
Ask any professional drivers if they drive just with one hand on the wheel. But again it's my 2 cents that you shouldn't leave your hands on the shifter because your constantly applying pressure on it. And I don't know about the b&m. But there is another brand out there the A something that doesn't require filing for reverse gear. I read that there is no rattle with that model.

And for what it's worth +1 for the guys saying it will screw up your synchros over time. I heard this from an instructor at a high performance driving school in regard to Corvettes. |

:eekdance::confused:
well, the original intention was to find a solution about the problem so, i guess so far, only AMS short shifter is only viable solution, right? does it get rid of vibrations on the low rpm? can i get more info on this? as far as holding on to the shifer, it is just a habit..... not intended to mess up synchro.... am i the only odd-ball out there? i do not think putting mind hand over the shifter would put any weight/pressure on it.... i am not pushing it or pulling on it.... just my right hand is on the top... or even, my thumb is on the top...... well, i never had a problem putting my hand or thumb on the shifter...... |
Im not saying everyone drives like a nut and its guaranteed to f your syncros up, FWIW - Im just saying, its not worth the risk for me heh.

AMS will be just like stock but it has an adjustable height to create a shorter shift.
B&M removes a lot of the rubber/filler material which will create a more mechanical shift "feel." Neither is going to solve any vibration, that just comes with the car. Both of these short shifters will amplify that vibration at different RPMs and maybe even make a slight noise. Before jumping over to a new shifter, think about changing out the shift knob first. :) |

This thread is ridiculous.
The shifter is directly mounted to the transmission, which is directly mounted to the engine. Both of these mechanical wonders have lots of bits and pieces that spin and turn and spit fire and what not. When bits and pieces spin and turn and spit fire, they vibrate. If you connect something to something that vibrates, it will vibrate, too. Common sense! |

the shifter vibrating is more jdm anyway so dont worry about it lol.
|
well, i am getting used to it.............. if i cant change it, why not love it....:happydance::driving:
another question is if i were to change the shift knob, would it vibrate more? more than OEM shift knob or about the same? anyone with just the shift knob upgrade? |
yeah dude honestly I can't stress enough to test drive the car quite a bit before you drive it. I test drove the Z 3 seperate times while testing other cars as well. I like the feel of being able to feel the hammers engage the next gear but I hate the "clunky" response as it feels like I am destroying my gears. But for the record, I messed up my 3rd gear synchros on my RSXS because I was holding the shifter knob while driving and too many times did I pull it out of gear before the clutch fully stopped the fly wheel. Eventually what began to happenb was when I was carefull with 3rd, it would "pop" out of place with the slightest pressure on the shifter as the clutch was fully engaged. Not to mention that Hondas have bad manual tranny synchros anyway.
