Short shifter height?

Website · Post by **matchstyc** » Wed Nov 12, 2003 3:43 pm

This might be a stupid question and I searched all the short shifter threads but, does the B&M short shifter make the actual shaft height shorter? I know it shortens the shifter throw but what about height? I just bought a new leather shift boot and a Nismo knob and now I'm in the market for a short shifter.

my obx seems like the same height as a stock one. i never had a stock one but my buddy with a 97 240 does i sat in it once or twice and shifted it seems about the same height. my obx right now tho is a hell of alot shorter. im jsut using the lower peice

the c's is the same height as stock. dunno bout b&n but I'd assume they're around the same as stock. Anyone care to verify?

the B&M shifter is about the same height as the stock shifter. i installed mine about 2 months ago.

yep, my B&M is stock height - but feels oh so good!

Yes, it's stock height,

The part of the shifter under the pivot point is longer, thus making the lever length different and the throws shorter.That's why they sell the base with it, so it will fit. So actually, the shaft might be shorter, but it still ends up at the same height as the stock one.

Get the B&M.......

It is by FAR the best shifter for the 240.....

SR or KA.

Will my stock shifter knob fit on the BM SS? I head it doesn't fit, and I like my stock shifter knob... :-(

Post by **nismodave** » Wed Nov 12, 2003 3:43 pm

Yes it will.

I thought that my b&m sat a little lower--maybe it's just because my b&m shift knob is a ball, and the stock shift knob was like a 4" heavy POS.

I have a leather shift boot too--it looks mint

THe first time you take your car out with it, you'll be amazed....night and day between the stock shifter/b&m

whats the cheapest on the market right now for the b&m? curious.

Post by **JustinStrife** » Wed Nov 12, 2003 3:43 pm

I think you're gonna be spending 200 or a little more no matter where you shop unless you find a used one...

I thought about doing B & M but I want something that's a bit more civilized on the street and not making alot of racket so I'm going with the C Shifter

What makes you think its loud?

I have the newer model and its not loud at all.

Believe me, Ive tried the stock, obx, Cs, and B&M.

The B&M is the best of them all.

Post by **JustinStrife** » Wed Nov 12, 2003 3:43 pm

Must be the older B & M then cause they use to have a noise to them when driving around town.

Post by **haah** » Wed Nov 12, 2003 3:43 pm

where can i find the cheapest selling place for b&m other than ebay

does the newer b&m have the bottom piece and the older one doesn't ?

Post by **Structure240sx** » Wed Nov 12, 2003 3:43 pm

dont know about the cheapest place but i got mine from enjuku for like $245. they gave me a $15 discount sincei mentioned i was a nico member i guess. and it DOES NOT make any noise at all i love it. i never had a stock shifter in my 240 jsut an obx and i jsut like the b&m so much more

Post by **stutt944** » Wed Nov 12, 2003 3:43 pm

sorry to bring up a somewhat old thread but I just wanted to let anyone who wants to know. The stock shifter is about an inch taller in height than the B&M. I installed a B&M on my s13 yesterday and I held them up to each other to compare height. Also, the B&M rules!! It's like driving a new car. Night and day difference from stock. Sooo crisp and prescise. Woot!!

Post by **Structure240sx** » Wed Nov 12, 2003 3:43 pm

yes b&m is awsome

Post by **JustinStrife** » Wed Nov 12, 2003 3:43 pm

Guess that settles it. I'm getting a B & M

Post by **gh0st** » Wed Nov 12, 2003 3:43 pm

Oh, I just bought my B&M from Enjuki for only $209 "buy it now" via an ebay auction they had. You might want to check ebay. Enjuki has been selling stuff on there for cheaper then they sell on their site. Could save you $35 buckaronis.
