Does DC make a short shifter for a 240.

Best short shifter for the 240, Only second to the 5Zigen TMCS.

I have a OBX short shifter which I paid like 99 bucks for and it does the job pretty decently. But I felt the B&M and I feel like its worth the money. its like $249 from www.enjukuracing.com but I think that's without the shift **** not sure.

But the quality and smoothness and shortness are very much felt throughout every shift and compared with OBX I would definitely pay more than later.

But if you are in a cash crunch, then the OBX is not a bad deal either for the money.

That's just my opinion.

I am with Import Fanatix. I felt the B&M and went with it. It goes in the car in a little while. I will post my feelings on it after the install.

One warning. They are backordered due to a new design. It took mine a month to get here.

I love the shifter. It is a cinch to rip through the gears now. Yes it does shake a little during high rpms but I have only noticed the sound/rattling in second gear.

Everyone that tries it is very impressed. B&M made two new customers off of my shifter. They are getting the shifter for there cars. Both of them S14s.

Hope this helps.

Enjuku sold me the short shifter. It was over 200. I went for quality. I have a lot of 240 friends I hang out with in the NYC area. They told me to skip the ones that they started out with and go straight to the B&M.

Most are replacing their short shifters with B&Ms.

You can do the install yourself.

Here is a warning!

The kit does not come with a gasket to go on the shifter houseing. We had to make one. I would order one from Nissan before you start the job.
