Anyone installed a short throw shifter in a v35 or 350z.. ?

if so which kit/brand, and how do you like it compared to the stock shifter.. ?

and also sell me your stock shifter if anyone has one still handy.

for this project..

have a 350z box but no shifter, i like the throw of the stock shifter..

i had a fc and prefered the stock shifter compared to a short shifter in the manual box. the short shifter felt better for drag purposes, but worse for drifting which is my style of driving.

cheers,

I have the stock shifter with the TK Hebi Bebi knob which in my opinion is a better combination. The TK knob can screw down lower than the stock knob so the base of mine is about 10mm above the console level. The low down weight on a stock stick makes shifting a little easier.

that does look pretty sweet, and i understand that the shorter the height.. also means a somewhat shorter throw.

my problem is just finding a stock shifter as it costs more than most short throws would..

i'll see how i go, the manual conversion project will be done in a few weeks.

cheers for the reply mosoto!

I've got a B&M short shifter in my 350Z, that I got from the US. The length is the same, but changing the pivot point reduces the throw.

It rattles at certain RPM and it makes the shifter a lot heavier, but I like the shorter throw. It reminds me of the S2K's shifter, but less smooth.
