are these any good (short shifter)

[Dean.]

as above are these any good reliability wise. has anyone fitted one and does it go into gear easily etc, i like the idea of this one as you keep the oem gearstick, oh and its alot cheaper lol.
any feedback would be great

cheers guys

supposably they do shorten the throw, BUT rushing gearchanges is something the Renault gearboxes are not made for.

 

[Dean.]

you would advise against then?

 

[Dean.]

anyone else got any feedback on them?

Been discussed before (alot, have a search)

I agree with franx

 

[Dean.]

Yeah get the gist they're not really worth it are they

I have a full b&m short shift and bought the car with it over a year ago so dont know any different think it was fitted about 45000 miles and car has 80000 now with no complaints so far feels nice shifting but i dont go too hard on it though just nice click click short throw shifting I would go for it if i was you. put it this way i would not want to live with out it after having one so long.

^^ well described , the feel is actually better ; feeling the clicks , shorter and more exact.

Better than the stirring in a pan of soup

I have the MB Carperformance one, without the clutchpin (posted above). In future i WILL be buying the pin to see how that extra 30% throw-decrease feels. It will have nothing to do with rushing my gearchanges , just the feel

The B&M made a huge difference to the feel of it when I had one, so much better to change gears with it. I found that you didn't need to smash it through the gears with one though, it was naturally a bit quicker and smoother and mine lasted for over 10k miles without any issues at all.

I'm torn now lol...
