just wondering which short shift kits you guys think are better…the megan or the b&m…i seen that the megan is quite a bit cheaper than the b&m but which is better and which do you prefer???.. ---

B&M, period. Cheaper ones will work, but you never get the same feel. I had a B&M and loved it, I’ve talked to people who used cheaper ones, and I’ve tried a few. The feel is not nearly as nice and there’s some slop in the movement. They’re worth the extra money. ---

It is a pain if you do not have a new O.E shifter bushing from Nissan. Buy one, it’s like 3 bucks. Worth every penny. Oh…and B&M for sure. I have not had one in the S13 as of yet. Although I have in many domestics. ---

It’s a bit of a bitch tightening the front-most 2 screws, but other than that quite simple. ---

B&M make good shifters man. I’ve had them in the Max and the 240, and they’ve been way better than some cheaper shifters I’ve driven in friends cars. Spend a few $$ and get yourself a good product. ---

Ratchet wrenches make life so much easier in installation. I got an AMS one as im a poor college student and not baller enough to pay double for the B&M. it works wonders and doesnt rattle or anything. Came WITH the a new O.E shifter bushing ---

its so easy to just drop the tranny a couple inches, that it makes no sense to do it while its completly bolted up. Its literally, 4 17 mm bolts on the bottom. Ample room to use a breaker bar if needed. And then support the tranny weight a jack or something. So easy. like 5 minutes of work under car. Versus, 30 minutes of angling wrenches and ratchets to fit. ---

I’m still undecided whether I want to spend SO MUCH for a simple short shifter. I don’t get what makes the B&M so much better. Once the play is taken out of the stock shifter, wouldn’t the shift feel be determined by how shitty your transmission is? I think that having a good condition transmission would be more pleasurable than having a premium B&M short shifter, and grinding when trying to shift fast. lol I have no experience with them, so I can only speculate. ☹ ---

mine are the best…lol Megan and CS and OBX and various others sell an older version of the one i sell… The ones i do are adjustable height and are the latest model. proper install is key. pack it full of grease, make sure you have a good bushing… roll hard. ---
