Mark-UK Posted December 6, 2009 Posted December 6, 2009 Ive got a short shift gear stick thing when I bought my 350z, its brand new inbox, not sure if to install it or sell it as im happy with gear stick as it is, any benefits to fitting it? How much they worth? Quote
Greekman Posted December 6, 2009 Posted December 6, 2009 I v got one and i love it m8. I think i got mine for about 70 quid inc taxes... on higher setting usually for town driving and the gear change is so much smoother! on lower setting it can be quite notchy tho but thats only for track days...

neo-ninja Posted December 7, 2009 Posted December 7, 2009 short shift, will have to ebay that as a noob as to what it even looks like or does! lol Quote
Number86 Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 Does the Z really need a short shifter. It's got a pretty toight shift already... Quote
rtbiscuit Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 did it on the mr2 i had, but that had a long throw. made it alot more work but was good. had to workk hard to put it in to some gears. personally i don't think the zed needs it. the gear change si already pretty slick already. Quote
Number86 Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 Though I took like it toight. Toight like a toiger... Quote
Greekman Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 As i said...on the highest setting its actually better than stock for town driving...gearchange is not tight any more even when cold... on lowest setting its bad...but once warm enough good fun!!!! Quote

rtbiscuit Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 An extendable gearstick. My my... lol works in reverse, gets shorter the more excited you get. its the anti- erection Quote
Greekman Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 An extendable gearstick. My my... lol works in reverse, gets shorter the more excited you get. its the anti- erection yes its got 4 settings...higher than oem...same as oem... shorter...too short to be any good!!! its got an inner ring with a spring that you lift up and then you chose the setting...and you can do it whilst at a traffic light!!! its quite good! just dont forget to grease the plastic ball cos it squeaks like mad on cold weather!!!

Greekman Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 any links to the brand your using? dont remember...its been ages! got it from adam. Quote
Greekman Posted December 20, 2009 Posted December 20, 2009 Do i? Now i know...cheers adam May i add that after a bit of copper grease on the ball and spring (from underneath the car) its always on the shortest setting. I love it!!! Quote
