I agree, I'm running a B&M with a dampner and the 2nd to 3rd shift is so much easier.:icon_tup:

most ppl use a engine torque dampner that seems to help a lot. Couple that with the B&M with the centering springs and I believe it becomes a non issue. Good condition engine mounts also def help with the issue.

I like a very short shifter....I hate when the shifter/knob stick up way high. I have a B&M replica off eBay and I have no complaints. The ride is rough on my car and the it's loud so having a buttery smooth shifter isn't exactly a concern of mine. The B&M has a very crisp shift (race feel) and has a centering spring to aid in shifts, especially the tricky WOT 2-3 shift. Combine with a nice heavy ball shift knob and you have perfection.
https://www.rx7club.com/picture.php?...pictureid=4627 Im wondering how i would get my shifter to sit as low as the rx8 shifter. I dont wanna cut the threads on my MS. |
Rob, the RE-A D1 s/s sits the knob very low. It's closer to stock with the throw length relative to the B&M. I have one I just took off my FD (I prefer the B&M style), PM me if interested.

Short shifters don't make for proper shifting...
The "tricky" WOT 2nd to 3rd gear shift has been mentioned.
Most people may think a shirt shifter will solve this issue. It may help, by no means will absolutely solve this problem. Most people grab the shift knob like it owes them money. They try to force it to go where they think it belongs. When your focusing on piloting the car, shifting can come second. Try open palm shifting. Don't wrap your fingers around the shift knob, and don't thrust it into position. Shifting should be smooth, not violent. It doesn't require much strength to make a committed shift. Gentle, but dedicated is the key to shifting. The key to successful driving/ shifting is experience and time. Not a fancy new piece of hardware (although shirtshifters are nice) |

My B&M is retarded sloppy. It actually caused my 5th gear syncro problem. I've been searching for the stock tower piece that's replaced by the B&M unit or maybe a B&M copy.
