short shifter again but may be an update to to others
 

my s12 has quite a long throw on the shifter & i want to fit a short shifter, i've read on here that an s13 one fits, but there are different types & i'm unsure which one to go for & whats needed to fit it? any help is really appreciated

cheers all

it depends on the year of your car, the mk1 <86 cant have a short shift, the later 86< mk2 can use an s13 short shifter if my memory serves me right.

i know i have a mk1, and that cant be modified :(

mine is a 1987/88 e-reg

Right the 1st one I am lead to believe will fit but problem is the rubber seal that goes on top has nothing to seal to.

The 2nd one does Not fit as I've tried. Only two of the bolt holes line up and you can only select Two gears

i'm not sure what to go for really? :confused:

Well useless getting the second one. I've got an S13 box which I may nick the end selector part off to see if I can adapt it somehow

i got the second one for my E "88". Had to modify it slightly. its a while since I did it.

Think I had to make a template from old one to drill another hole in the right place, then after that it wouldn't select 2nd, 4th or Reverse as it was hitting the back. I took a dremel to mine and slowly worked away at it trial fitting as I went until all the gears engaged.

It was quite a satisfying little job to do.
