People w/ short shifter installed
Is your SS stiff when changing gears? I drove my friend's RSX w/ short shifter and I was changing gears w/ 2 fingers and it's truly short throw. Nothing like my SS. Now it got me wondering if I can get the same type of short throw as my friend's.

Last week I put in the STS from CourtesyParts on my friend's 00 Max. Honestly, that STS feels better than stock. It's barely stiffer than factory, but it's nothing significant. And because the stick is made of steel instead of aluminum, there's virtually no notchiness. It just glides from gear to gear. If you get one, get this one from Courtesyparts, or I'm not sure if B&M makes an STS for the 5th gen, but if they do, that one is king .

I've had the SMC and now Stillen.
SMC was stiff especially when adjusted super short.
Stillen isn't as short, throws or height, however the aluminum ball makes gear changes bolt-action like vs. rubbery with the SMC. That alone is worth the money IMO. Just wish it wasn't so damn tall.

I have the B&M, and it feels nice. I can't compare to another brand, since this is the first STS I have ever ridden with. compared to stock, it feels way sohrt, but I already feel I need something shorter. I am satisfied with it.
the throw is cut down by about 30-40%, and has a little notchiness, but I think that goes away as you get used to it.

no modification needed for the B&M to fit. just need to break loose the bolts on the cat and move the cat downward for access, removal of the heat shield, and its pretty much remove and replace. piece of cake.

yeah 95blackmax installed the STS from courtesynissan parts in my 00 max bout last week. That shift feels great. its about a inch and a half or maybe a tad less from 1st to 2nd and the gears go it amazing smooth. No notchyness what so ever. If u wanna go with a good sts i \suggest the one from courtesy nissan specially since its not that expensive and nissan approves of it.
