short shifter very sloppy

[Damien]

Hi all,

bought a c's type short shifter of another forum member and

installed it the other day and found that it was very sloppy, meaning

it has about 50mm of play before it starts to move the linkages (or whatever

is inside the box:Oops:).

Are you suposed to use the the little plastick bit that comes with the kit or the one on the old stick, that goes on the little ball on the very bottom of the shifter?

The on in the kit seems too small and leaves it feeling sloppy and the one I

took of the stock shifter keeps coming off and jamming inside the box!

Anyone know what the go is?

If you're in the Homebush/Silverwater, you can check out my C's in my 33 - it's sharp, troublefree and it's put up with my bad driving since it's install over a year ago.

What are the benefits of a short shift kit?

You have to use the one of the original gearstick (but it doesn't fit as you've found). R33 turbo's and R32 GTR's use the same large plastic shift insert (ie on the tip of the gearstick inside the gearbox).

Sounds like you've bought a shifter designed for the 'small' Nissan gearbox used in R32 GTSt's and R33 non-turbo's. These use a smaller shift insert which is why you've got all the slop. Bad news is they aren't interchangeable.....

This is the reason I didn't buy one of these kits in a recent group buy.
