which short shifter should I go with? Im leaning towards C's. anybody have C's? Thanks.

 

I like my B&M a lot FWIW.

 

i didnt know B&M made short shifters for the FC

 

i have a c's and love it but i think the mazdatrix piece is also one to think about... very well built and has that firm feeling.

 

Yeah, I'm a ******* idiot. Sorry 2nd Gen dudes. I have one on my FD. *Quietly tip toes out.*

 

love my C's

 

ive read somewhere that c's doesnt make the shifter shorter but makes the throw shorter and it almost as smooth as stock whereas B&M is shorter, shorter throw and notchy.

 

unless you are running an FD trans in your FC... then you can't put a B&M shifter in your FC

 

I have the mazdatrix and it's great.

 

ah ok. what is mazdatrix one like?

 

C's is a true short throw shifter, which is what you want anyways. Eff all those posers who cut the shift rod down. That doesn't do **** except make you look dumb.

I have a C's short throw shifter in my FC. Its great. Makes the stock shifter seem like you're rowing a boat. You also don't have that passenger's-leg-in-the-way-in-5th-gear problem anymore.

But, as physics goes, the trade off is that it takes more muscle to shift gears. It has a really nice diagram on the back as to how it works. Basically it moves the pivot point for the shifter. Which is how it should be done, instead of cutting off the shifter/making the rod shorter.

 

muscle to shift... psh i got no power steering lol. who's got the best deal on a c's ss? so far i only found negun.

 

i have a mazdatrix one, very nice, very short throw

 

LOL, try this!

 

What ever happened to ArronCake talking to B&M about a shifter.

 

That never happened, and will never happen. The short shifter that I created is something I designed from scratch. The design has changed a few times but I'm still no happy with it. Currently on version 4. It will get done when it gets done.

 

***** shifter FTL

 

You know you'd rock this.

 

lol

 

C's.
It feels just right.

 

where is the best place to get one from?

 

Long shifters are good for race cars (so long as they're very short throw)... not so good when you need to mess with the radio and the A/C.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the Miata shifter yet...

 

+1 for mazdatrix short shifter w/ shifter extender

 

Doesnt that one only work on the N/A FC transmission?

Like the miata Torsen LSD fits the N/A rear end?

 

I don't think so... the N/A and turbo shifters are identical IIRC.

You just have to modify the Miata shifter a bit to make it fit. (I haven't done it yet personally)
