B&m short shifter with a razo drift spec shift knob - Honda Forum / Acura Forum

control1200 · 08-10-2004, 08:35 PM

I originally had my b&m with a mugen shift knob and it was an improvement over the "row boat" factory shifter. Then I switched the mugen knob for the new razo 480 gram shift knob. I love the way the B&M shifter feels now, very smooth and easy to shift with the razo. A good combo.

:bh UPDATE!
the razo shift knob has started to make a vibrating metalic noise. It is really annoying. I tried to tighten more, but nothing seems to work. Maybe it was designed wrong. In any case, I switched back to the mugen shift knob and the noise is gone.

I got a B&M short throw shifter too, and am relatively happy with it.
it's my first stick since i swapped over to 5sp so i have no real frame of reference here...i gotta say though that the 1-2 shift can be pretty notchy at times

Try swapping out your tranny fluid with some Redline MTF. After a couple of days of driving with that stuff in there, the shifting movement should feel a little smoother, but firmer.

10 bucks or so a quart, you'll need 2. But being that it is a quality synthetic, that'll last you 10,000 miles and then some.

redline is too thin for my taste... like pouring water into it, i like some feedback and resistance in my shifts, plus that stuff was just too thin for me to trust. cant beat honda mtf

whats going on every one???

well i have a b&m to with the ball baring in it i love it and it works with my driving style. the reason on why i got that one was cause i was going through that plastic peece that gos around the shifter ball and when that brakes the shifter would move up and down.

by the way i used to have a neuspeed shifter not a bad shifter at all!!!

what the other guy said, my stick does move up and down now guess the plastic around the ball broke..

wells this sucks.. does anyone know how I can fix this problem??? and maybe later in time I'll get a short shifter from dc, skunk 2 or what so ever is good out there.. and about the fluids people tell me that honda recommends motor oil in it 10x30 is this true?

I just bought a b&m short shifter and it says to put 2 bushings on the right side of the joint collar and 1 bushing on the left. It says if you want a race oriented shift pattern then reverse the bushing placement. Im not exactly sure what they mean by this. Also would i be able to install this shifter with a jack and jack stands?Or do you have to have a hoist? Thanks to anyone who can help.
