Fidanza short shifter 1G & 2G [Merged 3-7]

[overboostedtsi]

Fidanza now makes short shifters for 1g's. Does anyone have one of these or have any info on them.

 

[wibblersnatch]

Sorry, but I can't help you with your problem. I was just wanting to ask a favor. I've been interested in this shifter and was curious as to how short it acually is. Could you post a pic of it installed with the center console on please?

 

[project_tsi]

Those are the stock white bushings. I actually took another set off of a parts car and another set off a car in the junkyard, all 1g's. So I am 100% positive they are stock.

Dan, try calling Fidanza direct. Who would know the product better than them, right?
(440)259-5656 Ask for tech. You can probably e-mail them your pics while on the phone and determine a solution that way.

I was using the B&M one that I got from Slowboy. They have a few other one's. I wouldn't really question it's quality. I loved the B&M but Fidanza is a very reputable company so I'm sure it's a great shifter. Here are a few more brands.

B&M dont make short shifters for the 1st gens. The Fidanza dont have the stop in the shifter, so when you shift hard you are putting exess stress on the shift forks. I would recommend this shifter. Made by JNZ Tuning, good company. http://www.jnztuning.com/catalog/pr..._id=4&osCsid=6f301e6d72567ab1b274c36356f6ce17

I use a Fidanza on my 2G, I actually have a Fidanza 1G laying around... a friend left it at my shop. I'll PM you.

 

[SkyLineGtR-R34]

$165 for that?
Just get a B&M replica from ebay.

 

[Black94DSM]

Again B&M dont make one for us 1g guys.

Again B&M dont make one for us 1g guys.

OH, my bad then...
I thought it would be same as 2g

Just make sure you make a shift stop for the fidanza short throw shifter. You dont want to mess anything up in your trans.

Thats a link in the part catalog here do a little looking around next time. A little goes a long ways.

The 90 assembly is different than the 91-94, I think that is why he was asking.

 

[JOEY A]

Yeah 90 isnt the same

 

[KansasDSM]

I am sure one of the vendors offers a 90 short throw especially since summit offers one.

I recently purchased a fidanza short shifter and the only other company i can find that makes them is pace setter. They both require modifications to make them fit so i will stick to the factory shifter i know we have the odd ball year but i still love it.

 

[sillyme]

i looked around and called places. most short shifter NEED to be modified. i want a direct bolt on. i appreciated the help.

I was searching the forums since I had the same problem as project_tsi. I called Fidanza and they told me to increase the size of the hole enough for the bushing to fit. They do not have any intention on correcting the problem and stated that with performance parts some modification will need to be made for them to fit. I was like whatever and modified it using my die grinder.

Wow, that's pretty shitty support of a product if you ask me...

Yes, Dan (project_tsi) ended up doing the exact same thing to make his fit.

 

[alkadaypx182]

I bought the same exact shifter and ran into the same problem. The tech support advice given is complete crap. Something should be done.

 

[tstkl]

whats funny is it says that for a 90 some modification is needed, so Im guessing since the version that isn't supposed to need modifications to work does need it, the one where they say, "some modifications needed" will be a bi*** to install. Anyone with a 90 know what they are talking about and what it takes?

 

[NOMIEZVR4]

any update on the fidanza for the 90?

 

[LONEWOLF01]

I am just curious why did they redesign the tranny after 1990 did they find a flaw. i was debateing getting a new tranny.
