Just a no name copy so it appears. Its not a B&M they just put that and nismo in the title to get more hits.

its not a B&M.. not even a copy of one. this is the ****tiest design for a 240sx shifter available.

this is a b&m:

and those are $250.

now.. MEGAN has a B&M copy and its actually really good, for about 80-100 bux:

sweet thanks for the help. now are all short shifters pretty much the same throw length or it depends? my friend has a saleen and put a short shifter on and the shifts were barely anything felt like i was using a joystick on an old school arcade game.

be careful, alot of those ****ty copy shifter make soooo much noise and lock up.
I have a B&M Version 1 and its pretty ok, it just does make some excessive noise,

i need a short shifter but i dont want to pay $250 for a b&m is the megan one just as good??

never tried the Megan, Im sure it is good but remember you get what you pay for....
I think I've seen the B&M Shifter for like $189 on ebay bro

is this real b&m? always thought it was, freind told me it was just a knockoff but there just as good. i dunno lol.

The rattle was a high RPM rattle having to do with the B&M version 1. The Megan version 2 is a copy of the B&M version 2. You'll hear rattling if you install it wrong. Otherwise, no. And the copy is awesome, just not blue anodized shift plate.. woopty dooo :) haha. Get the MR version 2.

get the megan ver. 2 its much better ver. 1
short shifter is just a mechanical stick that shortens over all throw thats it.
stop wasting money on expensive brands and get 1 that works.
megan ver.1 and 2 is both good. i prefer 2(less work needed).
ive had a megan shifter for about a yr now ... no prob :smilie_thumbsup:

megans a pretty good company for how cheap they are, but as said dont trust ebay no name shifters, i had one in my old integra and was racing my friend, jambed it in 4th and snappded the weld (yes it was welded)

I bought one of those knockoffs and I really didn't like it. Yeah the throw was kinda shorter but shifting gears was harder; it really felt like it didn't want to go into gear. My synchros were good and i ran synthetic gear oil so I know it was the shifter at fault. To add to that, it was noisy and didn't feel solid at all. I ended up putting my stock shifter back in after 2 days.

that wasnt the megan type 2 by any chance was it?
