Hey all,

Can someone recommend and provide pictures of a short height short shifter and also recommend a place where I can acquire one... I am thinking of installing it to replace the stock one and make it a bit nice to shift and a bit nicer on the eyes...

Thanks!

 

B&M is the way to go...it is on the pricey side but you can't beat there precision and quality. I have that paired with Larrio's urethane shifter bushing and all i can is it's great. It took me a while to get used to it honestly because it was so rough and hard to shift, but once i got it there's nothing better IMHO. The throw was reduced considerably(about 40 or so percent) but the height didn't change all to much maybe 2-3in at most.

Don't get the "nismo" from ebay your gonna end up hitting your shifter trim and breaking it. It hits it in 1st 3rd and 5th gears.

CE sells an adjustable one i believe which is the Pacesetter. I've heard great things about it but have never personally tried or used it. It's about 100 bucks.

I've also seen Fidanza makes on for our cars but I've seen it on ebay so i was skeptical of ordering it.

 

Do you know the part number for the Pacesetter? Kinda hard to find it looks...

 

Honestly i don't because i've never had it nor seen it, but i believe they don't make them anymore (but i could be wrong)

Here's the link for the one CE which i belive is the Pacesetter because it's adjustable. I think this one would be pretty notchy because of the fact it's adjustable. http://www.customenterprise.com/view.../vts/design017

But if you in need of the B&M part number i can most certainly go look at the original box which i kept with my OEM stuff. Let me know.

Here's the Fidanza i was talking about.

Can you please, if you dont mind, show me a pic of how yours looks like?

 

Ok so this is my set-up (that **** with my setup was pretty good, it weighted 340g and the shifts were solid and precise, I currently have a wrx sti **** and it's the ****)

Pics: From every possible angle

 

If you look around on people home pages, im pretty sure you can find a picture of the hieght of the shifter...

But compared to stock im going to tell you, that its the perfect height...aesthetically as well as functionally, is that a word?

I have a B&M, and i have heard lots of things about pacesetter. The pacesetter is designed to be able to be adjusted...kinda complicated if youve never dealt with something like that (this is from what i have heard). The B&M, is not adjustable...and it doesnt need to be...and i can imagine it being easier to install compared to an adjustable shifter...

I personally would pay the extra money and get the B&M...simple install, there are good writeups in the stickies for the install...and like someone stated before, B&M makes a VERY good product....its worth it IMHO

 

I wouldnt get that...but then again i wouldnt get a pacesetter either...

 

Pics of mine are up.

 

Ooooh niiiice. I am gonna shop around for one - thanks guys

No sh*t.
Everyone who has posted seems to be on the B&M bandwagon. Im not saying its a bad item because from the looks of it it appears to be qualtiy made but I do not have one so I cannot comment on it, but how can others post up about it if they DO NOT even have one. Its getting ridiculous how many members post up about specific items yet they have no actual experience with them, just hear say.
Now I do have an ebay OBX shifter and Ive been running it for well over 4yrs with no problems. There have been other members who have had issues with the Ebay items such as fitment and breakage but there also been some that have not. For 20 bucks what can you expect.
It is true with a STS the tranny will feel notchy but putting in a synthetic fluid will help that out. From the units I have seen including mine the height one them isnt really effected, throw between gears is. What I did, and many others is hack the STS to get it to a prefered height.

 

looks good Flava.. do you do it using a dremel or something to that effect?

 

Ordered a B&M shifter

 

yup, used a dremel. After I cut the top off, I had to use an aftermarket adjustable shift ****.

 

I thought about that option but i've heard that it becomes hella more notchy so i didn't wanna go through the trouble..the B&M isn't butter but it's workable.
