Hey Sean, I got your e-mail and you're on my list Other interested parties, please make sure to get in touch with me.

 

Dave, just wondering if there is any new updates for us.

 

Yeah I posted an update on the 28th:

 

Sorry Dave, Im just blind and cant read

 

Ok its been a month......any update on these??????

 

I don't think there is enough demand for us to even do the 2nd part I have just a couple people that asked me about it.

You guys can change that though...if you need the 2nd part only, please e-mail me and let me know if you haven't already.

 

I know last time I asked, there were still 6 left. Are there any left now?

 

Ahh, I have ONE left...but we should be getting more in soon. Not sure if the GB pricing will continue or not yet.

Dave

 

Can ya hold it for me if I say that I will buy it today (Friday)?

thanks.

 

I have to take the first order, but so far still here Good luck!

 

Good evening,

Just got my shifter in and have no luck with the install. Cannot seem to get the transmission piece adjusted properly. It seems that you have had no problem. Can you give me any advice? The kit came from Active Tuning for 05 Max.

Thanks for any and all help you can give.

Does anyone with a short shifter installed have a build date of 08/04? build #800947

I have been talking with Steve Watkins (fast-shift.com) to figure out why the STS does not fit on the transmission lever. After reviewing some pics I sent; he came to the conclusion that the actual transmission lever is not the same as the one he modeled the STS after. Mine is not (zinc?) plated and appears to be plain cast iron. The significant difference is in the dimensions of the piece. O.C. dimensions from the mounting post to center of an OEM transmission lever is 67mm; mine is 55mm. With the STS installed on an OEM lever the distance changes to 49mm, hence the shorter shifts (37% shorter). Because mine is 55mm the distance is too small to fit the piece through and that's why it doesn't fit/work properly. The good news is that I already have 22% redux with the 'stock' piece.

Has anyone else experienced this problem; or anything related to this? I am not replacing the trans. lever; that would be stupid and cost around $275 for an additional 15% gain.

 

Why don't you post the pics here and maybe someone could compare theirs to yours.

BTW, my serial number is 819449

 

Is the group buy done?

I guess I will have to call Steve in Cali and get it from him.

Me want!!

Kam

 

Yes, it has been done for a while now, but we may doing something very soon.

 

So no more for 130?

 

If you have the $130 or better price for the SS kit for my Max, lemme know. I want to get one.

Thanks,

Kam

 

I have the 04' Auto and heard that the 05 has a shorter throw on its "tiptronic" style shift. The 04' has got such a long distance to cover with the tap shift that it you almost have to move your elbow if it is resting on the armrest. Anybody know if there is a way to change this out with the 05' version?

 

I cant get my short shifter to work!!! The piece in the engine compartment jams the shifter. What am I doing wrong????? Help!!

 

Nothing, it just doesnt work on the cars with the smaller tranny lever. The parts that sits on the tranny where teh second part gets installed (STS part goes on top). Anywhoo, Nissan changed the design to shorten the throws by 22% after many bad reviews of the 6sp cog box.

The tranny piece went from 67mm to 55mm and the STS was designed for the 67mm part.

Sorry to burst your bubble bro no go though......

Kamski

 

I appreciate that though Kam. Ill have to return it to Stealin but Im mad at them. They ought to know better!!!

 

Is there any simple way to tell which tranny piece you might have? Are all the 67mm zinc plated and the 55mm not? Is there any other way to tell the difference?

 

Yes you have to use this device, invented in about 1400BC...........

A ruler.


Anywhoo, measure from the bell housing of the piece (left side of the round part to the right edge of the switch). Basically if its bronze looking then no go.....

Kam

 

Mine is bronze-looking

 

is AT the only one that makes these for the max still?

 

I think so, and no one makes it for the 05+ Maxima

 

Nissan has 2 different transmission mounted shifter levers installed on the tranny where the shifter cable attaches and is found underneath the airbox. One is 67mm between the center of rotation and the post holding the cable, while the other is 55mm between the center of rotation and the post holding the cable. Axxtion is the only one who builds a Short Throw Shifter for the 55mm transmission lever. There is also an Axxtion Short Throw Shifter that will fit the 67mm tranny shifter.

Thanx

How do I order it and how much?

 

Deuski, I have the 55mm one and its PIMP!!! But I'm gonna chop the shaft anyways to make it a bit shorter.

The 55mm sts cuts throws by about 27%.

Kamski

 

Kam, did u get it from AXXTION?

 

yep, through ebay

 

I dont see it on ebay

 

if you want one, you can reach me at:
axxtion@hotmail.com

 

I got ur PM. Ill order one soon.

 

hey, would your sts work for a 04 max? if so, how much are they shipped? thanks!

 

I too am interested.. Please post pricing and availability..

 

The 04 has the 67mm shifter. I believe he has one for that type too as its the more common type.
