didnt really plan on it. i dont have a lot of funds at the moment but i wouldnt waste the time to cut it and end up fuckin it up

ok i realize this is old... but...

on the kfx canada site (kfxperformance.ca) they list a short shift for out cars for 105 bucks with shipping. if i get a S/S im going to do the work my self so im not worried about voiding warranty. my question is, is it the b&m S/S or is it generic(sp)?? im too lazy to call them in b.c.

It's thier own design, I asked him about it a week ago.

so its cool or what? if it would be cheaper through them with the same or close to i would but from gary rome. it all depends on the bushing i suppose. did you chack about them??

I've seen them, but they claim they work.

heres the story...my 08 accent is my first 5spd car (but i have tons of experience driving...also..i learned to drive on an 01 GSI accent lol)...anyways..i bought the shift kit when i bought the car..well i was expecting that theyd have it and put it on in time for delivery....well i was wrong..they had to order it and THEN they expected me to fuckin pay 200 bucks to get it put on!!!!!! i said screw that and i tackled it myself..i did it under the "2hours" they said it would take and save myself that 200 or whatever it was bucks...its easy as **** surprisingly...its a worth while unit..replaces all the plastic and rubber with anodized aluminum to make for a more crisper shift without any lee-way

..with that said..AND the fact that ive NEVER taken a shifter apart (other than automatic ones on my volvo lol)..i say DEFFINATLY do it yourself

ok so my trany or shifter is a pos. seriously, when the trans gets warmed up it sticks all the time. i have to push it through the gears or risk missing the shift and grinding the gear and that embarrasing. komp we talk about this when i first got the car but its in all the gears. when im not moving the shifts are perfect but when im driving its terrible. could it be the clutch? cuse if its gone in only 8 months im going to raise some heck at my deal cuse wear and tear on 9500 km doesnt equal a new clutch especially considering about a a little less then a quarter of those km is continuos highway travel

any ideas?

thats hyundai syncro's for ya! :thumbsup: my friend has an SR and she or bf will grind 2nd or so..i do it too when im haulin **** once or twice a week ( i CAN drive thank you)..its just this gear box that does it..and i know im not the only one :)..makes me feel better lol

Go for it! buy the b&m shifter if you are worried about a warranty. You will have less issues than trying to fight a warranty claims dealing with an unsupported aftermarket shifter.
Also if you think your synchros are going out, deffinately pay the dealer to install the short shifter. I can almost garantee, they will deny a tranny repair if you install that shifter yourself.

If you read the instructions that came with the B&M it talks about the issue, You need to adjust the shifter.

but ihave oem shifter.......

Sorry thought you had the B&M. Take it in for warrenty.

excellent!!!!

any one wanna post the DIY of how to put in a short shifter?

shouldnt have to post one up..the instructions tell you EVERYTHING haha..its super simple
