Firstly, I've been looking for a short shifter for a bit. In my searches, I came across the nismo, stillen, ams, and a couple more including the infamous B&M. If you look on these forums all you will see is mostly negative reviews saying that reverse wont work after, that the gears get all notchy and you cant find them, that its poorly constructed and doesnt fit right. Well..... its not true. Pretty simple. Some people either didnt take their time, or did not read/follow the instructions properly.
So for the review.
Part:B&M SS. No idea what version it is, most likely the newest. It was bought from Z1motorsports.com, I trust those guys with their inventory.
Car: 07 G35 Coupe 6MT w/poly urethane trans mount. (i have other mods, but only added the pertinent one that would affect my review)
Install: Very easy install (if you read correctly), maybe took about an hour. Most important part is to file EXACTLY where it tells you to. The hardest part of this install is putting that damn boot back on the shift linkage with the y-pipe and driveshaft in the way. Very frustrating. No issues besides that, just READ THE INSTRUCTIONS **Sidenote:The tube of grease they provide is no where near the amount you need to do it right. I bought a tub and was extremely generous with it specially in the "cup" where the spring sits.
After: No problems or regrets. Throw feels like its been reduced more than 33%(feels like 50% lol). It did become more notchy, but thats expected from any SS and its not an irregular notchiness. Gears go in fine with no issues whatsoever including 5,6, and Reverse which is what i read where the worst affected. Also, I dont get the vibration or noise I've read about at higher RPMs. Could have to do with the fact i lubed the crap out of it, or i just installed it right.
(this is my review copy/pasted from the g35driver forums, just so people dont think im some kind of bot haha)
