i have noticed on many diff cars with short shifters, some gears (especially 2nd) seem harder to go into gear. is there a way to help smoothen the shifting like replaceing the bushing? thanks for any help

 

A good quality shifter is the best option. I have no shifting difficulties with my Skunk2 dual bend.

 

yeah make sure you get a quality shifter, I have the skunk2 also, and an energy suspension shifter bushing. i don't have any shifting problems.

no problems with my megan single bent

 

a polyurethane bushing will actually help a lot..

 

My two buddies have a B & M and a Skunk2 and they both shift fine. I am looking to get a new short shifter infact.

 

I had problems with getting into 2nd long ago,
then eventually had to change my clutch out, previous owner ragged on it a bit.

ss and stock, now, I've had no trouble getting into 2nd.

 

my friend has an b&m and he has same prob., not my clutch i have 6 puck, its nothing like a big prob just looking to save those fractions of seconds inbetween shifts, thanks you guys ill think im going to order a bushing kit and thorw in some synthetic gear oil

 

ever since i got a short shift and bushing on my car my 3rd gear is going out on me..my syncros on 3rd gear when it engages it grinds even more..for normal driving is fine but not when racing 4K it grinds already..will i kinda miss my stock shifter though and plus yes it is harder to get into 2nd gear..

 

I have a skunk 2 single bend in mine and aftr installing it I did have a hard time getting it into second. Adjusting the bolt that connects the shift rod to the shifter will determine how hard it it is to shift into gear.

Looser=easier to shift

Tighter= hard to shift

I just went back under the car and kept loosening the bolt until it was smooth as butter.

Just dont make it so loose that the nut can shake free of the bolt.

 

ill try that, thanks
