B & M Short Shifter

[Rob]

hi all,

for those that have the short shifter - do you find that it vibrates quite a bit on acceleration esp at the higher rev range? mine has always done it but now it is getting annoying. I had a play and found if i hold the gear knob and try to rotate it clockwise then the gear stick does move a little.

i am going to get rid of it very soon anyway but i suspect all that has happened is the plastic cap on the end has worn away a bit so very easily fixed.

ah come on there are plenty of people on here that have one - no one care to reply?

i have one Rob.............it to made a high pitched buzzing sound from time to time (hardly hear it)

[Rob]

mmm mine is easily heard - time to take it apart and inspect i think

[DaveEllen]

i'm sure someone removed the noise by sealing the join with foam or something

this happened to me with another one of my cars, well sort of anyway. Being a joiner i had expanding foam in the boot, blasted some of that in, put it on quickly and left it for an hour, was completly solid after.

May prove difficult to get off again but least it'll be quiet lol.

mine is quiet

no noise at all since it was put in

all i did was run a small bead of silicone around one of the metal faces, let it dry and then fixed the quick shift onto it :)

It only ever vibrated when it was in 6th in mine mate, it was fine in all the other gears?

Not sure but when I initially fitted it the thing was as tight as a badgers arse, I took it back out and lubed it and it made a huge difference, might be worth trying a bit more on it fella to see if that makes any difference as well as what Barrie is on about?
