good brand short shifter for fd ?
#7
It's sort of a B&M/Gotham style vs Mazdaspeed/C's style for the most part. Part of the decision is simply personal preference, part is performance (and then there is always price). I've had Gotham and C's. I could never get the Gotham to stop rattling no matter what I did! Not everyone has this problem, but I think more people have the rattling problem with the Gotham/B&M style. I personally love the C's shifter I have now. Never a rattle for over two years, crisp, precise shifting (but more expensive).
Hope this helps a little.

C's, Mazdaspeed or Mazdatrix FTW....
I tried everythig out there
RE Amemiya(although I love his products) Basically just like stock
B&M = Good feel but very notchy, kinda hard if you are the type that want's to shift quick
I heard the Gotham one though is not as notchy as the B&M even if they share similar design
C's, Mazdaspeed & Mazdarix = smooth short throws, firm enough to feel it in gear but smooth enough to shift without much effort.

If you look at the RX7Store/Pettit Racing/Mazdaspeed one later in that thread, you'll see the fulcrum is MUCH higher. This is what shortens the throw of the shifter. Then you add in that the top is shorter for less effort an that gives you the combined short shifter behavior.

I have a Mazdaspeed and it feels pretty good. The only this is to remember that some Short shifters transfer transmission whine through the gear stick, mine does it sometimes, but its pretty quiet.
