What is a good type of short shifter for a fd?

 

if you search there is a lot of threads on this, but just ot answer your question B&M makes a good one so does petit racing....most people are using B&M, it is just a little too notchy for some.

 

There is many S/S and everyone has there opinion on there particular model.
I have a B&M, install was easy, quality was awsome, definetly shortened the shifts, it's a little notchy when shifting but I'm very satisfied!

 

I have a Mazdaspeed one. It was fine until I had to install the momo shift ****. Because the mazdaspeed one gets fat it wouldnt let me sit the shift **** as low as I wanted (and still screw the bottom cap on). If I could do it again Id go B&M just because its a skinny stick all the way down. As for notchyness - that comes with any type of short shifter. Tradeoff for having not quite as long a throw.

 

Thanks alot guys for your comments i think ill go with b&m any type of model i shoudl like what type of b&m or is there only one?

 

I have a Mazdaspeed shortshifter.. If you like that stock smooth feeling, go with Mazdaspeed. About 40% shorter than stock.

My friend has a B&M, and it's notchy as hell. Feels pretty slick though if you like that. That's abouta 40% reduction as well.

I felt another friend's RE Amemiya shortshifter and that felt EXACTLY like stock. I don't even think it shortened the throw at all.

 

Mazdaspeed/Pettit/RX7store are all the same design (and probably manufacturer). Quality is top-notch, design is like OEM and it reduces throws ALOT. Just installed a Pettit on my car and FWIW, the kit even came with new bushings and gasket. Very nice.

KaiFD3S is right though, there are tons of threads. One of the better ones^

 

They went out of business but I like my C's.
