Lol I give you props for not mentioning how hard and annoying it was to re-install the dust boot under the car at the linage, I spent a solid 15-20 minutes trynna put that shit back on! I also installed mine today, holy hell it’s TIGHT!
I put my torque solution shifter in my Z last weekend. It is very tight right now. I'm glad to hear that it'll loosen up. I hope itll fix that annoying second gear grind while racing.
I did mine around the same time. I haven't had any problem with reverse at all. The only issue I've had is just getting used to the space in between 4th and 5th. With the bottom of the shifter being longer to change the fulcrum point, the space between 4th and 5th is wider. When I shift, my arm kind of reverts back to the feel of the stock shifter and I miss. Thats a me problem though. Only other issue is my shifter knob rattles bad at high rpms. Not really an issue. Overall I'm happy with it. Edit- now that I'm thinking about it, I never really had a break in period like you described. Just getting use to the feel was all I had.
When you going to let us see you race, burnouts, donuts something? Regardless.. Lol of what it is I think your videos have been great but it would be awesome to see a little more driving content and see what you're hard works turned that thing into. Just an idea
That was a really good review. I was looking at doing this to my Z as well for the same reasons. I may have to rethink it now. do you think there's a way to pre polish and grease those bushings before you put it all together and get rid of that break-in period and hard shifting in the cold?
I had recently had purchased and installed this short shifter on my 05 350z and i have had a real stiff almost notchy feel to it ever since i put it in, no grinding or anything like that just not clean shift feel. Is there some sort of break in period for all the new parts?
Well I can add my 2cents, I bought the cheapest eBay short shifter the day you uploaded the video, better shifting'ish.. cons rattles like crazy at some rpms
Go back and look over your work bro you did something wrong there should be zero rattle with that thing mine was super solid I've never heard of anybody having that issue recheck your work bro
@@TALONATER thanks for the reply. Checked the work and everything seems fine. I'm wondering that since I have a JWT light weight flywheel on, it might be the source of the rattle in the shifter. Might go back to installing a heavier one again. I'm also going to check my transmission mounts. They never been changed. Always enjoy following your videos. Your videos make owning a z alot of fun.
Thanks bro I appreciate it and just so you know I have the JW T lightweight flywheel as well and no rattling bro I'm telling you it may not be your current work on the shifter but check those mounts something's not right it should not be rattling man don't get rid of it because of the rattling fix it bro I'm telling you something's wrong
So, stud I installed mine and I wasnt sure and still not sure if the old stop plate should or shouldnt be installed. I installed it on top is this correct or bummer false? Driving down the freeway and no 6th gear and it slipped into reverse for a second. Lol piss me off
I always thought short shifters were cool. My buddy had a 95 240 ka turboed. He has a short shifter. That thing was weird lol. I think stock would be better. It's easier to drive. Lol
@@TALONATER And what a bitch to get that bolt back in. Such a tight fit I couldn't believe the words coming out of my mouth. I'm going to hell for sure. Bug I'm going in my 350z revup in style lol.
@@TALONATER hay what size throttle body did you bolt on your Z? I think my throttle rpm hang up at 3.5k is caused by dropping my throttle body on concrete.

Lol mine actually slipped right on for me man I had no issues but I've heard many people say it was a real issue for them 👍

Sweet video man, after watching it I bought one right away and it just arrived in the mail today!
Nice bro good luck installing 👍

Anytime bro

Same here very stiff at first but i found a couple weeks to a month down the road and it got much much better 👍
Yea plus im in wisconsin so less than 20 degrees everyday, thanks for the reply hope the videos keep coming
No problem man and yes the cold makes it soooo much worse but after a few minutes of driving and the tranny warms up feels fine 👍

Sorry to hear that man 👍
I like this review considering getting one after you said it stop those 2nd and 3rd gesr grinds :) keep it up my dude
Thanks man 👍
@@TALONATER do you think just getting a new shifter cup would help with the grinding 2nd and 3rd gear
@@guruzini1971 I never really thought about that bro 👍
Love mine. Its great for daily.

Thanks for the videos. My Torque solution short shifter rattles above 3000 rpm. Any way of eliminating that. It's pretty annoying. Love your videos

Great video man! I totally agree with your review. 👏🏻
Thanks man 👍
JUST LIKE MINE super thanks for the upload Bro peace !!!!

Excellent follow up review ma man. PEACE!
Thanks bro 👍
What kind of Shift boot is that!? Would love to have it
Oem its just hidden under the other main shift boot 👍
So, stud I installed mine and I wasnt sure and still not sure if the old stop plate should or shouldnt be installed. I installed it on top is this correct or bummer false? Driving down the freeway and no 6th gear and it slipped into reverse for a second. Lol piss me off
hit me up on social media you can send me pics of what you're talkin about I'm not really sure through comments what you're referring to
It was super hard to get both bushings on the shifter and connect it
I always thought short shifters were cool. My buddy had a 95 240 ka turboed. He has a short shifter. That thing was weird lol. I think stock would be better. It's easier to drive. Lol
I totally agree 👍
What’s better weighted or non weighted shift knob ?
I'm sure it's going to be more of a preference thing 👍
Good video as always Brother
Thanks man 👍
Keep it up men👍
Thanks man 👍
What size tomei shifter is that? I know they have 3 different sizes, i think.
I have the same shifter and i shaved the bracket down a bit to accommodate the lock out helping it shift smoothly into reverse.
Ohhhh nice thanks man ill try that 👍
its called the tomei Duracon i just bought it from www.z1motorsports.com
Sweet, fhanks bro
what kind of shift knob do you have?
Tomei 👍

I bought the nwp 75 mm throttle body kit did you do all the proper relearn procedures after installing the throttle body?
