Im in the market for a short throw shifter for my 99 maxima se. I have heard B &M are nice but i would like to see waht people have and how they like waht they got....... help me out guys

 

ive heard the best things from b and m and also SRE i think on ebay. the sre one is only like 20 something bucks shipped.

 

B&M is the best I have tried. A few of my friends have it and I think its the best. Ive tried cars with stillen, passcetter and the custom maxima one and the b&m is the nicest one of them all, thats what im going to order when i have the money.

 

yeah i have seen some for about 140 for a 99 maxima is that about right for a B& M short throw

 

This is an SRE-like STS from e-Bay. It only cost me $20. It is all steel so its not that cheap aluminum kind that breaks after a while of usage. Quality is really nice, nice welds as well. It's only about 1.25" shorter than the stock shifter but the throw is definitely shorter. Just put new shifter and e-brake boots from Redlinegoods.com. Oh and the new Greddy ****.

 

thats just a **** though not a new shifter though right

 

Like I said, it's an SRE-like STS from e-Bay. It is an STS. The stock shifter used to sit taller than that.

 

yeh well im talking about getting a shifer like the B &M one for 140 that shortens shirfts and ups the preformance

 

You asked for peoples opinions on the shot shifters they have and he gave it to you. $140 is about right for a b&m shifter. Contact Y2KSESteve I think his user name is. I think he can get you one for a little less.

 

I can't find any "SRE shifter" auctions on ebay. And what's this "SRE-like" shifter?

 

i have the courtesy nissan sts. i have heard people say the courtesy nissan sts is an exact copy of b&m, i dont know, never looked into it, what i can say is that it is FANTASTIC!

 

DR-Max: How does the SRE feel? Do you have problems to put it in 3rd sometimes? I do with mine, is it only me?And sorry for highjacking the thread, but would a cut stock shifter benefit in shortning the throw? Thanks

 

NO. 10char

 

SRE off ebay here, i cant justify spending over a 100 on another shifter when this $20 works perfectly

heres a recent thread on STSs: http://forums.maxima.org/showthread.php?t=442912

 

does anyone have a link to the sre shifter on ebay?

 

You're right, Ceasar...it is almost identical. Both packages (B&M/Courtesy) have the sts that come WITH a pivot. IMO, the pivot is what gives the B&M/Courtesy a superior edge. The Courtesy doesn't come with the heavier shift **** like the B&M does.

Only thing some people don't like about the B&M/Courtesy design is the 1st/3rd/5th gears are positioned closer to the trim. Though if those people took time to shift gears you can see the design is optimal for 2nd-3rd and 4th-5th gear shifting.

Here is a write-up I made a while back showing the difference in throw between stock and w/B&M:
Throw Comparison/Review

Also, here is a write-up I did when I first heard of the Courtesy STS...I live in Dallas so I decided to go over there myself to check it out.
Courtesy Packaging Review


PS...I couldn't begin to imagine how much a stock shifter would SUCK now after having the B&M for 2 yrs now.

 

I bout a nismo sts of ebay and found out during instalation that it doesnt fit my car! so then bought a pacesetter although I havent put that one in yet..

 

It did not fit because nismo does not make an sts for us. You bought a cheap knock off.

 

I like my B&M, but just recently after I broke it in it rattles slightly in 5th gear when my rpms near 3000. THe rattling increases from that point as I rev it up even higher.

 

here's mine..and im auto!! i got the shift **** from procarparts.com



IM REALLY SORRY THE CAR IS FILTHY!!!

 

Oh man sorry but that is the tackiest screen install i've ever seen. and the shifter doesnt really look that great in there. Just my opinion. If you like it, more power to you!

 

^^5 speed envy?

 

the screen was supposed to go in the headrest but i didnt have time to mess with all since im too lazy so i just kinda slapped it in there somehow but it's coming out pretty soon..

 

to the poster, why don't you take a few minutes and look through a couple pages back? you'd see 5 other posts that would answer your question in minutes. Sick of the same questions being asked everyday by lazy people that can't go back a few pages to search for their topic. Moderators should ban people for posting the same topics that are found within 5 pages. Sorry for the rant but it's getting annoying.

 

Gawd d@mn, you hacked the h#ll out of that. I thought mine was short but that nub blows mine away.
How is driving with it?

 

Bad motor/tranny mounts make your shifter rattle. My tranny mount is pretty much gone, gotta order one from Pinnacle Nissan.

LOL ! this has to be the shortest STS in any maxima !! nice work

Type of Shifters:

- Stock: "Row Boat" Shifter
- Short Throw Shifter (STS)
- (*NEW) Nub (NTS)

 

It can't be that hard to shift from P to D......

 

I think that would require it to be a manual eh?

 

ROFL ! but his throws, even though auto will be .011 faster with the NTS

 

LoL ya prolly.

 

i like the idea...but then again, there's no gear indicator, so you're kind of SOL to know exactly if you're in D. Can't be a huge problem though.

I would cringe if my 5spd shifter was that low..

 

Sorry but that has to be the most retarded thing i've ever seen in my life.. LOL It looks so... like a buttplug.

 

 

like a buttplug?!? lol..sounds like you've got a homosexual experience with one!!

 

What's the point of having an STS for autotrajics.......other than looks???

 

Thats what my friend StreetzLegendZ told me it looked like when I showed it to him...

Personally I think it looks like a *******.

 

Lies, I Have Nothing To Do With This!

 

i had a question and i posted it bro get over it you arent forced to read into the post. A lot of people had something to say on the topic so it wasnt a "lazy" attempt for an answer it was just put out there for the purpose of having a forum on.
