i am thinkin bout puttin in a short throw shifter.....would i need to change out the tranny oil too ??? if not will it be too notchy???

also what is the best bang for the buck?

and where to buy

 

I bought a Maxima with stillen short shifter in it. I had problem with shifting to 3rd gear. It's stiffer, but after awhile, I don't think it as a short shifter any more. I just get used to it.

 

i hear good things about the b&m and the courtesy short shifter, which are basically identical.

 

i LOVE my B&M, stiff for the first 1-2 weeks then it's like butter. Haven't changed my tranny oil yet but I'm going to soon, and going to get the AMSOIL GL4 from the group deal forum probably. Not because it's notchy or anything, just because I don't know if that gear lube has ever been changed (I'm only at 70k so it's probably a bit overdue.)

 

would it it be ok if i just keep the same gear oil in there....or do i have to put in synthetic? ive been told it gets tooo notchy and hard to put into gear if i dont put in synthetic....i want to try to avoid synthetic cuz im afraid it would leak....

 

where can i still get a courtesy short shifter?

 

I didn't change my gear oil and my shifts are like butter. (B&M) Maybe they didn't install it correctly? Don't know how that would be possible though, there isn't much you can mess up.

I don't plan to goto synthetic either when I do change it.
