What do you guys think of this? I asked the seller and this thing is chrome, not gold...just a bad pic. I know b & m make good short shifters, but how about this one?

 

My friend bought an e-bay short shifter. It broke on him when he shifted into 2nd, lol. He was surprised it lasted as logn as it did.

 

B&M or no go. C's is also a good one as well

 

does the shifter look a bit long or is it just me?

 

I knew b & m and C's were good, I also heard that b&m smokes the C's one in driveability....but the cheapest b&m i have found was 170 on ebay. I guess it isn't worth it to buy a cheapo and have it break.

 

instead of buying the Ebay one, just send me the money so it'll be used for something worthwhile.

I have a C's and it's pretty good, but one of these days I'm going B&M (version 2), so that should tell you what I think about all 3 short shifters.

 

170 is cheap for a B&M, I think it goes for 205 on PDM

 

B&M shifters



Here is what I found

 

i've hear stillen short shifters are better than B&M. it's just rumor though on an altima atleast.

 

If you're going with B&M, here's a tip - beware of the B&M shifter kits that INCLUDE a B&M shift **** - these are the older version 1 short shifters, which would buzz at a certain rpm range. The version 2 short shifters are quiet, with no buzz, and they DO NOT include a shift ****... so if you're ordering from somewhere, double-check to see if it has a shift **** included or not... there's a few B&M short shifters for S14's on Ebay right now for like $168.00, but they have the shift ****, so they're the older, noisy ones

 

I heard about version 1's having a problem, but I had no idea how to tell if one was a version 2 or 1...Thanks for telling me that. How long ago did they start making the version 2?

 

It's been awhile now, maybe 4-6 months already... if you're buying one just check for the shift ****, because only version 2's do not include a shift **** (or call the seller and ask in person)

 

i got a B&M shifter when i think hyjinx or 12aine put it up.. but i havn't had time to install it, but i know my factory shifter has problems getting into first and into reverse.. i will see how things go once the car starts.. also i got it for very cheap to.. about 150 or so.. and its a v2

 

damn i just ordered a B&M i dont know which one it is!!!!!!!!!!!NO i just paid 178 off ebay i does not look like it has one so hopefull yi will get lucky =) but will it say it on the box when it comes in..?

 

I think the box is the same, part # is the same, pictures are the same. Just that the better one doesn't come with a shift ****.
