Help choosing a short shifter

GaleForce · 01-09-2012, 05:23 PM

I have the TWM short shifter. You can read about it here - my the370z.com short shifter DIY

Since that post I too installed the Password JDM stainless steel shift knob, but have no wheel time with the knob installed.

I have the B&M shifter as well with the Password JDM knob like above and love the setup. IMO the shifts are short precise and firmer that the stock shifter. I have not felt any problems with the syncros as well. If I had to do it over again i must say I would because I love the firmer feeling.

I'd leave it alone in this car.

AMS Shortshifter -middle setting- and weighted Blox 490 knob makes it so effortless compared to stock I'd never go back. I don't have synchroRev and it was hard to be precise before, noticeably better and smoother now, both up and down the gears. A good synthetic oil in the tranny is great too.

I have felt the AMS and it wasn't what I expected... its a little harsh and notchy. I would buy a B&M though if I got one. I've never felt one of their shifters that I didn't like.
