I just installed a B&M short shifter. It works good other than when I hit high RPMS and it starts to vibrate heavily. It is definately not normal. Has anyone had this problem or know what it might be. Thanks for the help. Ryan. ---

it is normal it was a commona problem with these peices. you need to take it all apart and throw tons of bearing grese in tehre and it helps a bit. pull out the shims and it helps out more. ---

Mine vibrates like silly around 6k rpm and up. I don’t enter that range on the street though, and a lot of other things vibrate on the track, so it never bothered me. ---

you gotta break it in i believe and get the bushing that goes on the pivot point i think. 2$ at nissan. i think that helps it out. ---

you have to remember that the OEM shifter had a rubber core inside the larger section of the upper shifter. That may now be solid metal, or a substantially tougher material than the soft oem rubber. Thus because it does not dampen as well, it vibrates. Enjoy ^\_\_\_^ ---

Everyone talks about the right bushing, but can someone tell me which bushing it is so I can buy it at nissan? and where can i buy bearing grease to put on it ? Solarian, it’s not like a KA is fast, so not dangerous at all 😛 ---

B&M had apparently fixed the problem with their new design but in reality they didnt. I too have the rattle, I tried removing a bunch of shit off the shifter and it still makes noise. Used to it by now though.
