I have the all new B&M short shifter on the way. Upon arrival we will have a full installion How-To, full product review with specs, and plenty of pictures.
Yes, I too am looking into this mod. I'm just not quite sure about the installation. I recall someone saying that it's a real pain if you don't have a press. I'm looking forward to hearing your review.
The stock 6MT shifter is pretty darn short already. I love modding my Z. But I'm not sure this one adds much. I will await a review from someone who installs the short-shift kit before making a decision. Thanks.

what were you told you need a press for?ive had the shifter in my car for almost 3 months now....the hardest part of the install is getting the rubber dust boot under the car back on (that took me all of 5 minutes).took me 30 minutes to do the whole install
i promise no press is needed
it is as simple as unbolting one and bolting the other
as for its fuction.....it is about half an inch shorter...but thats not why its called a short throw shifter....
it make the throw from gear to gear anmost half of what it is from the manufacture

I may have been mistaken on the press. I remember reading something earlier in the year but of course that was quite some time ago. It was probably something that had nothing to do with the short shifter. My mistake!
no problem...only part that is anoying is you have to file a very small portion of the trans housing to alow it to go ino reverse...took me all of 5 minutes with a simple rat tail file
yea im anxious for these to get here so we can installed on our cars!! i think it will be good to have a how to on it for future buyers who need help with the install!
I ordered my short shifter from Jon, and I think it will be here next week. My question or concern is which shift boot are you going to use? I assume the stock will not work but I may be wrong. I'm not planning on installing it til next weekend so I have some time to get some input on this so I can decide what to get. I'm thinking what ever I decide will probably have to have something in blue since that's pretty much my theme for colors.
Hey guys wanted to get a short throw shifter for my Z, dont know much about them, jus wondering if theres actually a difference between B&M and say a less popular brand or basically is a short throw shifter a short throw shifter, well any feedback would be appreciated, thanks!
I've got a B&M short shifter. I hate it. I like the short shifting part, but the B&M one is of crap design. You should not have to file away at bits of your car to fit a short shifter.
Get a C's. Or a 350Evo. Or the Nismo. Or the Rogue Engineering. Or the other adjustable one that's not from Nissan. Any one but the B&M.
