Short Throw Shifter/ Short Shifter Install 6 Speed Nissan 350Z & Infiniti G35 (Torque Solution)

In this video I go over the installation of a short throw shifter/ short shifter (Torque Solution) in my Nissan 350Z. I tend to always put an after market short throw shifter in my vehicles, because I'm always left wanting more as far as driver feel goes. This is probably because most factory vehicles have to be set up for ease and have to feel soft for the masses, also I tend to buy my vehicles used so there's probably a little bit of wear.
Thus I change the part. I love the feel of a good quality shifter. The throws are the right distance, and you get this incredible positive feel when changing gears because the materials are higher quality and the tolerances are tighter.
If you are on a budget and you don't know what to do to you car, change the shifter!

Same here....just got my z 2 days ago some modifications were already done. Like the exhaust. It's badazz but loud. Not overly loud just shows how much the car just wants to go

[@DrPeaceNpot]

Forgot to say the stick is stock still. Don't think anything was done to shifter but shifts in gears really easy only complaint clutch catches very high unlike my last car. My last car couch caught right away so a learner could drive it. I was able to be on a hill and use the clutch and gas to stay in gear still on a steep hill. Did it the day I got it. I wish this clutch was like that. It would help off the line big-time unless your a trackie and use 2 step. Btw my z is a track car but that part of my life is over. No racing the z for me no matter how much crap someone talks.

[@AnthonyJ350]

Ya the stock one sucks compared to this. Which brand did you go with?

[@frankth3frizz]

Same one you got, those "clicks" when you were showing how tight it is something I want. haha. I also ordered a new plastic cup from Z1, apparently that's usually what wears out.

[@AnthonyJ350]

frankth3frizz Ya I bought one too from there. You can't buy the cup alone from the dealer you have to get another shifter, so dumb. Plus you beat up the old one a bit trying to take it off. Make sure to put on some lithium grease in the cup or something safe for plastics.

[@AnthonyJ350]

frankth3frizz Let me know what you think of the shifter once you got it in.

[@frankth3frizz]

Hey those little spacers for the bolt doesnt seem to want to fit with both of them installed.do I need a lot of pressure to squeeze them in? There's about a millimeter gap between the actual shifter and the face of the spacer.

[@AlejandroPerezCosio]

This was a VERY good and instructive video.. I'm thinking on this modification, my only problem is I live in a country where I would end up paying 3x the amount to import that piece + waiting months for it to arrive :/ So, I was thinking.... the only (practical) difference between those shifters is the length at the bottom part.. So..... what if.... I cut it and add ~1 extra inch (the comparison at minute 5:33 was key, it's basically an extra head) of a stainless steel rod the same diameter as OEM, and weld it...throw a 1/2 inch spacer and... that should be it... just expecting not to have to change the shifter cup.. I hope I'm not missing something else.. I will be thinking on this idea for some days before taking my shifter apart : ) Please let me know what you think! PD: Reasons for modifying vs replacing it: - time that will take to arrive (customs is a bad joke where I live) - costs (shipping, taxes, customs, custom taxes [YES, more taxes]) - I have all the needed tools + welder - as I was looking some reviews, quality of aftermarket short shifters is not the best even between expensive ones (300+ USD) and OEM one looks solid

[@AnthonyJ350]

Cutting it will make the throw shorter. But the Torque Solution unit is built to tighter tolerances and material. That's where the better feel comes from.

[@johnmccrary3904]

I just wanted to say I listed to this over my garage blue tooth speakers and it sounds like you were going in raw on someone, got the shifter off

[@jeremygalloway1348]

Anthony I've come across articles on internet contradicting each other regarding white lithium grease and plastics. Lol would think there'd be a general concensus. Some say WLG is fine for metal/metal and metal/plastic lubrication...others say WLG is not ideal for plastics due to accelerated aging. Weird. I know there are different plastics and would assume also WLG compounds...but still kinda weird. I did the same thing when I installed my nismo adjustable shifter in my 350. I'm reinstalling it now and am concerned with where the shifter goes into the tyranny linkage. Missing the plastic or nylon washers somehow. And just have some o rings in there. Dunno how that happened I guess broke and somehow fell out. I also have grime/dirt in the cup that I will clean out. Just not wanting to separate the ball and cup lol. Thinking of trying to find some type of washers to fill the gap where the plastic or nylon washers sandwich the shifter and linkage. Thoughts on washers? Think about soft metal would work or deform and cause issues(possibly into certain gears). Apparently it's worked fine as when I removed it they were absent and I've been driving for 6 years since install so no telling when they came out

[@AnthonyJ350]

Used Dielectric grease if you want. It's used for oring seals. I had no issue with the grease used in the video. You can worry about it in 20 years from now.

[@RichardNavarrete1]

@AnthonyJ350 Thanks so much for all your tutorials! Was it difficult to remove the original shifter bar from the rest of the assembly? Did it ruin the original cup when you removed it? Thanks!

[@AnthonyJ350]

Everything came apart easy, I sprayed the bolts with penetrating lube to make things come apart easier.

[@TheRobphobos]

Cheers for the video, I'm finally updating my cheapo chinese one for this. Did you use the other circular cut piece ? (you can see it around 6min) Ignore that, sorry, I saw it goes in first. Man this shifter is excellent, they did a good job!

[@AnthonyJ350]

Glad to hear you're liking it!

[@nismo_zrz3321]

I have solid diff bushings and the vibration isn’t bad but my exhaust is very loud so I can’t confirm how it would be if the exhaust were quiet!

[@AnthonyJ350]

It is possible the subframe is absorbing a lot of the vibration. Z1 has a video showing how much play the subframe has. Here's our install video kzbin.info/www/bejne/naS4haKuet-ZsKc

[@soldiersinx]

Hey, Thanks for the great video! I was wondering, you said it was like the TWM shifter, does this one have something to dampen the vibrations like TWM does, it looks like it is just a solid unit. How is the buzzing/vibrations on this one? Thanks!

[@AnthonyJ350]

The big bulge dampens the vibration. Has the same vibration as stock but feels amazing to shift.

[@AnthonyJ350]

+soldiersinx Also I have a weighted shift knob from Greddy, so that probably helps dampen the vibration a lot too.

[@soldiersinx]

Hey Anthony, Thanks for the reply. I picked one up based on your review, but I am having issues with the installation. When I try to insert the stainless steel bushings, there is no clearance and it will not install. The part at 8:22 on your video. The bushings are just slightly larger where it will not insert into the shifter linkage. Did you have any problems like that? Thanks.

[@AnthonyJ350]

soldiersinx Yup, it is extremely tight tolerances. You have to line it up perfectly for it to go in. I had a similar experience..

[@phatso786]

How are you liking your shifter so far? Looking to buy the same one. Just bought a urethane transmission mount and looking to add this to make shifts even better.

I looked it up. It looks like one piece construction so that's good. It says 60% reduced throw, I honestly think that's pretty short of a throw. Mine reduced it a little from factory and I thought it was perfect. I think the factory throw is pretty darn good just needs to be tightened up a bit.

Man I did everything by the book but my shifter will not fit with the spacers on it. Fits nice and snug without them thought. You think there would be issues running without them or should I try spreading the gap a little to fit the spacers?

[@AnthonyJ350]

Is it sloppy for fitment after?

[@ChubbyChaser1234]

@@AnthonyJ350I’m not sure I understand your question exactly. I don’t believe there was any slop anywhere, I virtually have to squeeze the shifter into the linkage point (without the spacers). I tried for a good while with them on and there was just no way unless I made the gap bigger. Everything installed fine after that, the shifts feel good, no issues yet. There is a minuscule amount of wiggle, barely enough to be noteworthy. I think it’s fine but I’m worried it might be an important part that’s slowly wearing things down

Can you tell me why sometimes its hard for me to put my shifter into gear, especially when i drive the hell out of it. Ill be driving my car normally than when i stop at a red light or stop sign i try to put my car in first gear and its like it wont go in that gear or any gear... i have to use all my might to force my shifter into gear...and btw i have a new transmission and clutch.

[@AnthonyJ350]

You might need to bleed the clutch hydraulic fluid again. If the clutch slave is old it may need to be replaced. Also did you install a stainless steel braided line with a heat shield? We use Redline Transmission fluid for Nissans and my car shifts great.

[@Sanchees3]

I had the same issue as well after replacing my clutch and this worked for me: before you try to bleed the clutch or anything else, make sure the shifter plate is perfectly aligned. My 1st/5th/6th gears were becoming SUPER hard to shift into and I felt like I had to force it in very hard, but it turned out that my shifter plate (the gold plate that can be seen at 4:00 ) had been poor placed after my local shop recently replaced my clutch and removed the transmission. To fix this, just loosen all three 10mm bolts holding it down and make sure that the reverse lockout stem ( the little thing sticking out at 9:48 ) is touching the side of the shifter plate when in 5th and 6th gear. There should be absolutely NO GAP when in 5th and 6th gear, this ensures that you don’t overshoot when shifting or else you’ll grind it your gears by having to force them into the correct spot like you were mentioning. You may have to play with it at first when trying to find where the stick actually falls into the gears, but once you do just double check that the reverse lockout when in 5th and 6th is touching the side of the shifter plate. After re-aligning the plate you should have really smooth shifts again ! Hope this helped. Edit: Spelling

Hey Anthony what's up say if I dont want to go through the hassle of installing it who could help me with that?

[@AnthonyJ350]

Tony the Lakers Fan Your local mechanic should be able to help you out. I would just take apart the interior portion for them prior to bringing it in. And maybe show them this video.

[@Thebizkit123]

AnthonyJ350 Ah alright thanks man

Tony the Lakers Fan No problem. Comment back when you get it in and let us know what you think.

Can someone sent a link for the plastic boot used a guy posted the part number from Nissan but haven't find it anywhere

[@AnthonyJ350]

You'll have to check with the dealer or Z1

[@john_shedd]

what do you call that bottom piece that covers the top of the boot? i need one.

[@AnthonyJ350]

Try Z1 Motorsports or Concept Z.

[@ddziewa]

You must purchase a new cup or can the original cup be reused?

[@AnthonyJ350]

Daniel Dziewa You could reuse the old one, but you might damage it taking it off. I'd start with a new one. Concept Z or Z1 Motorsports should have it.

What collar do you have to adjust your shift knob?

[@GTR24]

Does the shifter have vibration/rattle over 6000rpm?

[@AnthonyJ350]

I suppose a little bit. But running at that high of RPM your focus is going to be on other things while driving.

AnthonyJ350 Where did you apply the lithium grease?

[@AnthonyJ350]

Speed Obsession on the side of the bearing where the shifter moves and in the ball socket

No, only poor driving technique and lack of maintenance will.

The 3 bolts mine won't reach.

Didn't it come with new hardware? Check the instruction manual because it should also have list of contents.

No reply from email. When I called torque solutions. They referred me to your video. Disappointed with their customer service. They told me the company doesn't have an instruction guide for their own product...what?

[@AnthonyJ350]

Adam Nejad I guess you can treat it like the stock shifter and refer to a Haynes manual. Is there something from the video you don't understand?

[@adamnejad6250]

My buddy is deaf and needed written instructions.

Is this the same for the g35 coupe ?

Gabriel Chavez Should be except for the interior disassembly. Check Torque Solution because I believe the product says 350Z/ G35.

mrherredge Is it happening when you guys leave it in gear and deccelerate?

[@mrherredge]

AnthonyJ350 this happens while shifting into another gear while the revs are >5000. only occurs in the moment of gear change, no other vibrations or rattle while in gear or shifting below 5k. This also does not depend on the selected gear.

You can if you can get it off clean. The new one can be found cheap online though.
