Short Shifters reviews

[vteccoupe]

Hi, in search of a set of short shifter for my R as the previous owner was stupid enough to cut the stock shifter shorter.

Anyway, im looking at dual bend shifters and preferably not aluminium(prone to snap?"

Anyone has used any shifters in e market and would like to give ur review on it?

1. MFactory ( carbon steel )
2. Skunk2 ( steel )
3. Buddyclub ( steel )
4. B&M (aluminium or steel? not sure )

doubt you can snap them. unless your have arms like a cyclists legs? i have a cheap ebay one and its great! bit stiff to start off with as the grease settles and it takes no time to get used to. shifts are as quick as it takes to stomp the clutch. no crunch.

Im running a C's shifter. Bit pricey compared to the rest but but no complaints here. You get what you pay for. Massively increased shifting feel and response. However it sometimes requires a bit of brutality to get into gear, but im positive that has more to do with my old gearbox fluid.

I have seen an aluminium shifter snap on my mates e30 bmw. Wasn't very fun at all

I have seen snapped aluminium ones.

I've been tracking with the MFactory one and very happy with it. together with the Gear knob, its very nicely weighted and easy to shift.

is mfactory really carbon steel?

i have been told that dc2 vtir and dc2 type r uses the same shifter, just that the dc2 vti-r one is black whereas the type r 1 is polished..is that true?

using a BuddyClub shifter and type II gearknob. Love it! Definately takes getting used to, but i love the shift feel and precision.

i have an ebay one, and its fine, and i am very rough with the shifter at times and no issues at all. I've had a few but more for positioning rather than anything else.
I believe mine is just standard steel one.
