Will ANY Sentra/altima Srhort Throw Shifter STS work on the 4th gen, or only specific brands? Many reputible companies list the same part number for both applicatins, with B&M being one of them. Just wondering.

 

I don't see why they wouldn't be interchangeable. Just as long as you are using the same applicable years. (i.e. newer Sentras/SpecVs have a different shifter linkage)

If you do try this then make sure the company you get it from has a good return policy...just in case.

 

check summitracing.com for specific part numbers, they list a part and all cars it works on rather then vice versa (in the application description field of it.)

i believe their b&m sts lists 4 or 5 cars it fits

 

It may not work. My B&M came with some plastic washer's which I believe would not be used on some applications and some copper inserts that I didn't use...In short, I wouldn't count on it working.

 

Well...the extra copper parts you didn't use could be used on another Nissan that is listed with the same B&M STS Part #.

That's why you had extras.

When you received your B&M was it not in a sealed package and bearing the same Part # as listed on the website that shows it is used on Sentras and whatnot?

It saves B&M $$$ that way.

 

I know all that. That was my point. If a STS is made only for one of the cars that you would use the copper filler sleeve things with then it wouldn't fit the max.

 

im pretty sure a B14 shifter is the same

 

... did you get the sealed kit from B&M .. shrink wrapped plastic over a cardboard back, blue anodized base?

i didn't have any extra parts...

those copper inserts you mentioned, they were hollow cylinders no? I used them on mine. they fit inside the pivot ball that bolted to the change lever to make a secure fit.

i hope that if you didnt use those, you used something else... otherwise there is play in your system, i would think

 

ity does matter, some shifters are different. the list is short but here it is:

-86 - 89 stanza
-91 - 93 NX1600/2000
-91-96 sentra/200sx
