B&M Shortshifter

[oneightoo]

Hi all

Just after some opions/comment/negative reinforcement about this product i'm thinking of getting..

What do we think of this?

Now i might be a little slow but i cant see where the reverse pulley uppy thing is.. and it's supposed to be for a astra/calibra

i'm thinking of buying one..

That would be the groove in the stalk just under the knob.

Bugger to put in I hear.

[oneightoo]

ahhh i thought it might have been that.. but wasnt really sure..

the website it's on says it's a simple installation.. which means simple for someone who has done it a million times, and a right pain for someone who has never done it before ie. me

[InSaNe^Sna1L]

how much? and can you order two?

[oneightoo]

it's $309 from www.modyourcar.com.au i dont really want to pay that price, i'd rather find something cheaper elsewhere, but that seems to be only one i've found so far..

[InsaneAsylum]

too expensive

[oneightoo]

my thought exactly, but it would look soooo nice..

[BassyAstra]

If you get a short shifter it makes changing gears faster right?

But when you change gears heaps fast you get the crunch ??

[NUTTTR]

309 is a pretty good price IMHO!!!

[oneightoo]

i guess that depends on if you know how to change gears properly.. i'd really be after one for the bling factor..

[Poogene2001]

if all you want is the bling factor why go for a short shifter kit?
Surely a new chromed up gear knob would do the same trick........

[oneightoo]

occasionaly i like to drive fast and slam thru the gears quickly.. plus i prefer short shifters to longer ones..

[Namus]

they're not too bad from what I hear...the price seems expensive to me, but B&M are a quality brand so...install shouldn't be overly difficult

I had a look on their site, they dont make one for a 05 Corsa SRi. Anyone know who does?

Check out Rocket Industries at Huntingwood (Eastern Creek) they sell them a bit cheaper, but they have a tendency to stuff you around with delivering on time.

[CAL.16V]

coming from somebody who has one first hand in a calibra... a deffinate improvementa dn worth every penny...

i got it cheaper from rocket trade price but i heard they wont be getting any more as they arent popular and i got the last 2 in the country

[OriginalTimbo]

I have one for sale

$250 ono, in original box and everything

[oneightoo]

is that $250 inc postage?

[CAL.16V]

i paid $245 brand new

[oneightoo]

i bought it off timbo and installed it on the weekend, piece of cake to install, took about 5 mins.. works and looks perfect!!
