Great vid, John. I'm tempted now.

Question: how is shift effort? As in, do you feel you need more or less force to move the shifter between gears?

 

Thanks, Liam.

Effort feels the same. No change there as far as I'm aware. But really, the only way to truly assess that would be to compare both at the same time. Hop from one car to the other. You're coming to the August meet-up, right?

 

Yup, I'm still planning to come to the August meet.

 

I put all these pictures, my comments and video together in one thread:

Ah, that big bolt thing isn't a plug, per se. It's an adjustment that's connected to the internals. Found this thread today that explains it better:

Something leaking at the steering rack - Nissan 370Z Forum

So I'm thinking I keep an eye on it, and keep an eye on my PS fluid levels. As long as my power steering doesn't feel compromised, and fluid levels are consistent, then I suppose I don't care if that adjustment nut weeps fluid over time.

Well, I care, I just don't want to spend any more money right now. After talking to a Nissan tech today (because buying a replacement lower rubber shift linkage boot), he said when they see that, they just replace the entire unit under warranty. That's nice and all, but I'm no longer under B2B warranty, and Power Steering isn't covered under Drivetrain Warranty.

Because of course it isn't. Anyway... here's the new underside shift-linkage boot:

 

Well I stole your idea of reusing the factory boot. Ill post pics soon on my thread.

 

New comparison video.


...with a customized stand-off created by LatheWerks, in order to bring the shift **** back up to normal, OEM height.

 

Very well done there John, looks like that extension worked well, and what a great way to do a comparo, from the exact same reference point & sequence, kudos!

 

Your video makes me wish I had a 6MT more then ever! Thanks a lot, John...

 

 

I think you were trying to post something clever there, Brad.

"Access to psx-scene.com was denied. You don't have authorization to view this page."

 

Man watching you shift makes me want that STS badly.

 

It's one of those "why didn't I do this sooner?" mods

 

It certainly does click into gear with a more satisfying kind of feedback.

Glad you enjoyed the comparison video.

Pretty much, yes. Ditto on the RJM clutch pedal.

The only downside to the STS was the 3/4" drop of the **** into the boot, but Chris at LatheWerks customized a fine solution there, and now I'm 100%. There are few mods you can truly say "100%" about, but this is one of them.

 

I'm finally going to get on board with the RJM pedal. That and the trans mount are my next two mods.
