Im buying a short shifter for my car but i dont know which one to get. I have the choice of the RX7 store short shifter or the B&A short shifter. Which one is shorter and better for quick fast shifts. Should i go for the more exspensive one or the cheaper one. thanks.

 

I'd say you should go for the search button:

I got the b&m, its really short, works good, easy install

 

best mod imo
even though I don't have one

 

shortest one would be the pettit shifter - cuts throws by 60%

 

How much would the pettit run for, were can i get it, and is it easy to install. And for the B&M would i be able to put that on myself.

Pettit shifter has the shortest throws. Everything else shortens by 1/3. The only thing different between those is the price. I'd save your money and go with a B&M. I have one on my car and it does its job well. If you want the shortest throw available, go with a Pettit, but the thing's expensive if you're buying it new.

 

hmm pettit has the shortest
but ite really expensive i have the rx7 store one and i like it

 

correction the shortest shifter you can buy for an FD is
the stillway sequential drag shifter (www.jt-imports.com).
very very expensive but you bearly have to move it and it
shifts. like in a rally car. nice but if you ask me it takes
the fun out of driving a standard.

 

I have one for sale that I barely used for $200.

 

I have the B&M too and it is a big improvement over stock. It has a real rigid shift and is very high quality for the price. I did the install myself and it was very easy.

 

does a short shifter mess up the synchros at all?

 

Brand new C`s short shifters from JT for $199 with shipping for all cars

 

Does the B&M come with shift seat and bushings?

 

I got a Mazdaspeed one and shifts really nicely. As smooth as stock and very easy to install.

 

i have a c's short shifter. i will install and test it once all the snow clears up. got it for like 193 shipped from jt0imports.

 

stillway sequential drag shifter (www.jt-imports.com).
is $600

 

Maybe a stupid question but does it have a really shortened shift or is it up,up,up to up shift then down, down, down to down shift? In stead of the up,down, up down way.

I didnt know how else to word it so pardon my dumb phrasing

 

gohorns did you like the unit or would you not recommend it?

 

I have the pettit unit, its great but too short for me...the thing barely moves an inch

 

Unlike most short shifters, the B&M replaces the entire lever, mechanism and base, not just the lever and bushings. It's a nicely built piece. Almost a shame to cover it up.

I have one, and it's like a fine wine... it's getting better with age.
