New Part at Z1 - Shifter Spring

milmast · 11-25-2020, 01:05 AM

Just resurrecting this thread from the dead, has anyone found/made stiffer springs that will be noticeably better than the factory ones?

I installed MTec springs recently. IMNSHO the side-to-side slop is reduced more like 10-20%, rather than 5-10% like someone on myg37 said. The reverse gear gate exit seems to be a bit tighter/stiffer than normal but it doesn't bother me. Install was easy with the transmission out. Bit more difficult with the trans in, but still totally doable.

Probably not much need for these springs. I did the install because ... well, why the hell not?

Or just be a man and do solid shifter bushings

So alot of people barely notice a difference, I was thinking about buying them / find / getting my hands on stiffer ones, so the return-to-center is more aggressive. I find it is somewhat weak in these cars, especially with a short shifter.
