ok sorry i cant search.

which sts should i go with? b&m or SMC?

 

I chopped mine with a hack saw and put an Ebay shifter on it. I'm perfectly happy with that.

 

does anyone have experience with these two?

 

If it's not adjustable, it's no good. You have to be able to "feel" the absolute MOST you can shorten the throw without loss of downshifting. If you can't adjust it, then you can't accomplish that. The Pacesetter is a really good product if you want to do it right. If you want to do it wrong, hack it off and put a shift **** on it Depends on your cash flow.

Honestly, I wouldn't go through the installation if you're not putting on the Pacesetter. You probably should cut it at that point. Good luck.

 

Stillen, although you don't have it listed.

 

i didnt know stillen made one.

 

I thought some people had problems with their stillen shifter breaking? Here's a good website to checkout. http://maxmods.dyndns.org/

 

from what i have read ... stillen or B &M

 

I have an OBX STS. It was stock height but shorter throws. So I cut it down 2 or 3 inches. And now is shorter and has short throws. I am pleased with it.

 

I am highly pleased with my B&M...

Has anyone tried the one on Custom Maxima.com? $60. Just wondeirng.

 

There are so many threads on this its ridiculous...

I have a B & M...didn't even change my tranny fluid and I absolutely love it

 

ditto for me (re: JerseyMax). i tried a pacesetter before i bought the B&M and found it to feel cheap.

 

I have the B&M w/ the stock shift ****, and Redline MT-90 tranny fluid. Shift are very precise, a lot more that the stock stifter ever was.

The only complaint I have is that the shifter sits more forward than the stocker. But the shorter, more precise shifts make up fo that.

 

dont get one off ebay, unless its the stainless steel heavy duty one, not the alumium like was being sold before that one snaped on my friends car. and i have the pacesetter, can't speak much of it cause its not installed but its adjustable so thats good.

 

so it looks like the b&m is a pretty good way to go.
does it sit so far forward that it hits ths trim?

 

bump. anyone know? any adverse effects on the shifter trim?

 

No way...it doesn't sit too far forward. The design is sitting like that because it is far easier to get the 2-3 shift with 2 being straight up and down. You get total 'comfortable' leverage for the 2-3 shift.
Click on my link above...there are pics available that show stock and B&M height/throw.
