Just curious.. has anyone tried one of these shift kits? I see them on e-bay quite a bit now and was wondering if anyone has had any good/bad experiences with them.
Thanks

Do a search on short shifters....... I have the Mazda $peed and love it. It's quiet. B&M is a noise but good shifter. Check out what others have to say.

Could you post a link to this? I haven't seen one.

No experience with the item. However, the seller sounds VERY familiar. Do a search on his name. I think that someone on this board got scammed from him.

 

I think my fav is the Pettit even though it rattles sometimes.

 

I know a couple of guys who bought this guy's midpipe and had no problem whatsoever. That shifter kit looks odd though. Never seen one like that.

 

I have the C`s shifter very nice.. My buddy took it for a drive now he wants one... Very nice, tight and confortable...

I have seen a mazdaspeed shifter like that, but im pretty sure it was for an FC..HUM, i could be wrong though...

 

I didnt know apex built shifters....

 

It looks almost identical to my B&M shifter except mine is anodized blue... But ya I'm really happy with my B&M except its a little noisey but not bad though. I can't even hear it when driving because of my exhaust....Tony

 

Why do they rattle for 500 miles or so???

 

i was wondering that also

 

The one on ebay is APEX not APEXI. Its fake.

Its a scam. It might be o.k. but you get what you pay for.

 

Looks identical to my B&M...

 

I bought one of these and it is nice. Feel is a bit stiff but should free up over time. The only thing I didn't like was the packaging and the threads for the shift **** were not stock thread. He is switching out the unit for me shipping reimbursed and this thing has a 5 year no questions asked warranty. If it's a copy of the B&M then great as I was going to buy that one any way and it is about half the price. If it's a scam then the guy is doing some nice machine work on it to scam people.....so you be the judge. If you grab 5th instead of 3rd. then you have a death grip on the shifter while driving. Just mu $.02

 

i got the shifter off of e bay also, It seems to work rather well, it is a little stiff though. my only gripe is the diamater of the shifter was smaller than the original, so the rubber boot doesnt seal very well.

Now I'm interested in this C's shifter.
Is there a link or info on where one can be had?

THANKS!

 

www.jt-imports.com check the OTHER section at the bottom of the page....

 

I've heard pretty good reviews with people with the C's, and pettits short shifters. I thought the throw on my mazdaspeed one wasn't short enough though, so I hacksawed it and retrheaded it :P I'm going for that Semi-Truck transmission feel Montblu: C's is the most expensive shifter out there next to mazdaspeed. Being in Japan, Canman6969 can probably give you the best deal on one

 

normal price for the FD C's shifter is $330 without shipping.. I can do it for about half that with shipping...

Thanks Opiston.....

 

My friend has the C's shifter for FD RX7 shipment coming in tomorrow, I just asked him. About 5 sets are available. Individual price is $300 including shipping in the U.S, group buy for 5 is $275 including shipping.

Maybe I can stir something up, if anyone is interested just email me at blackbeastrx7@yahoo.com
