C's Short Shift Is Good

[SKY 34]

postman's doorbell wake me up this morning, delivered my short shift kit from nengun....

couldn't resist and so install them immediately took me 1.5 hours, spending most of the time removing a stupid c looking spring clip, which goes into an indentation, very hard to remove. I also broke the rubber sleeve which clips to the bottom of the original shifter. Wonder if I'll ever need that again...

anyways finished installation and went for a drive, it feels weird, still not used to it. It is weird but good, goes into gear much quicker it feels somehwere around half the original distance shorter.

But when the car idles, the shift seem to vibrate real hard and somethimes when going into gear there is this weird whrilling sound. I've read other peoples thread having the same thing...

but it's a thumbs up, worth getting for $300+

Something stuck or loose somewhere?

Have a read of Prank's tut seems pretty well covered how to install it. - http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...l=short+shifter

I followed the tut above for my 34, no problems, no noise, nothing, works an absolute charm.

Although sometimes when I am near redline in 2nd, the change to 3rd doesnt go in. Never used to happen with the stock setup, maybe the gearbox/clutch is playing up a bit shorter/quicker throw

My guess is that something is probably loose.

the noise is because of its solid construction. it transfers the gearbox noise/vibration into the cabin.....sounds like a track car..lol im used to mine

well the noise is not borthering me. I also think it's because rigidity of the shifter.

also probably because I did not mamanage to put the rubber noise damping thingy fully through the shaft, some of the noise from the gearbox manage to "sip" into the cabin.

sounds quite cool actually

cheers
