When I changed, the difference felt negligible, but when I switched dailies and had to drive my coupe for the first time in over a month and had to relearn the shifter, the difference is much more appreciated.

It seems as though B&M has the shortest throw? That's good, that's what I'm aiming for. But now will consider other ones for price reasons of they're getting good reviews anyway.
While we're at it, what are people's choices on shift knobs? Brand and source perhaps? |

You can mix and match. There are a couple different combos that you can add or subtract to get a return stiffness that you like. I can feel the difference a lot, the shifter has ZERO slop and is very tight.

I have an ISIS short throw. Rattled, but all you have to do it take off the c clip that holds the weigh on the shaft and pull it off and just put some electrical tape or something on it to keep it from moving. Pushed it back on, reinstalled c-clip and didn't have a rattle for about two years. It's starting to rattle a bit now again but I don't care enough to mess with it.
Only complaint is that's it's got some slack in the mechanism I guess, and I can turn the shifter clockwise and counterclockwise just a bit. It still feels great and precise, but just has that little bit of play to it so it doesn't feel as nice as it could. |

In the last few months I've seen a couple sets of them show up on eBay. Best place to find them now imo

That's what she said
I had a B&M and now I have the C's. I love how the B&M feels but I hated the rattle. I hear the newer versions don't do that. I love my C's. Got it used for $100 |

so does anyone still sell spring kits. i know CS did. but idk if people still stock it. i guess i be better off going to ace hardware and getting stiff as shit springs. i have a question about the springs too. do you just replace the two side ones or is it also good to replace the one that you have to remove the shifter to get to. |

My question is what brand makes the actual shifter "short" as in the height of the shifter not the shifting, a friend of mine years back had one on his S13 that made the shifter height really short, kinda like in a Mazda miata or an early model Toyota mr2, but I can't seem to find one like that, all the ones I find are about the same size as stock, also does anyone have any pics of theirs?

I bought a B&M, I believe V1, rattled like crazy, and occasionally grind-ed, very annoying. Went to ISIS after reading reviews, had more grinding and still rattled alot. One of my major complaints with the ISIS which did not happen with the B&M or stock is that for a slow roll (say stop and go traffic) its impossible to go back to 1st gear. I never had these issues with the stock one so went back to stock. would not recommend either product.

B&M One of the best things I've done to my car so far. Feels sooooo good and precise. Mine dosent rattle at all and I bounce my shit off rev limmiter IDK If tranny mounts matter, but I've got a new nismo and a nismo butt plug shift knob.
