what I would strongly recommend is buying new shifter bushings as mine were catus at 200,000 odd kms

sounds good to me. planning to buy some other goodies off E240 so maybe I'll have to add shifter, gear knob and bushings to the pile. :-)

tell me about it, I'm always working on ways to mod the b4, gets much better ks than the s13 will ever doing the same driving conditions (know anyone with a 6spd box they don't need anymore they'd like to sell?) lol

OT: you wont be disappoint in the MFactory parts, I have a majority of their stock on my car, couldn't talk it up more, very awesome parts

tried to install mine today, dont think its the right one?? for somereason everything fits towards the end where the end of the shifter connects into the link..full touches my exhaust..making it impossible to shift!.. so i compare my oem to the short shift..after the ball on the shifters...the aftermarket one is slightly longer!

Do you have an aftermarket exhaust?

The ball pivot point on short shifters are located higher than stock making the bottom bit longer.

Its shorter on top and longer on the bottom. Thats what makes the shifting shorter.

Yes i got a twin loop 2.25 from top, ahhh wat a waste of time took it all off jnstall then find it to touch the exhaust wont shift then install the oem back forgot to put two rubber o ring in the bottom of the shifter to link now abit loose as in freeplay
