MikeyM Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Alologies if posted in wrong section..Admin, please move if this is the case. I have my 05 Z and it has a short shifter fitted and a very heavy/weighted gear knob , my issue is i am finding it very tight and on occasions a struggle to get it into gear, especially from 5th - 6th. Clutch itself is absolutely fine, its a stage one. Is this common with the short shift ? Are they not worth having in comparision to standard ? Thanks in advance for your responces :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 (edited) With some shifters you have to file a small section off the shifter aperture. However 5th to 6th is usually only a shifter plate adjustment. Edited December 27, 2015 by ZMANALEX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craigy_87 Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Yeah the problem I had was getting into reverse so looked where the shifter was catching an filed away it didn't solve it 100% but just using the shifter it filed it away by itself. It does sound more like the shifter plate isn't aligned right if it's 5th to 6th 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veilside z Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Go you prefer the gear change? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyM Posted January 6, 2016 Author Share Posted January 6, 2016 Go you prefer the gear change? I do prefer the gear change having now driven a standard Z with short shift. Will enjoy it even more once i take it apart and see what the issue is with gate :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
