Short throw shifter

KameezGuru · 01-22-2009, 09:23 AM

Anyone know if the short shirts from the 350z work on the new 370z? What are my options if that is the case? I had a B&M on my 240sx and I loved that. I'm open to other options so please let me know.

Don't know if you have felt the shifter on the new Z yet, it is pretty short. Wrist flick short. You may not need a SS. If you want it S2000 style though, thats a little different.

I will call B&M today and see if they are even working on one.

Called B&M, they haven't even began to think about the 370Z yet. They said they are concentrating on the '09 Charger/Challenger right now.

There is one way to find out!!

Call Nissan and see if the OEM part numbers match!

LOL! My friend had a B&M short shift with a mini-stick on his T56... It was more than ridiculous! The shifts were so short that you can shift with your thumb and index without moving your hand!

The stock throw will be fun... Any shorter and it might take away from the feel of shifting.

OK, thanks guys. I am currenlty in the mist of making a list of items I want to change or swap out. I really need to go and drive the car.
