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!

You, sir, are a god... That whole video and no swearing? Man, I swear my vocabulary has been cut down to a 32nd after that! After some busted knuckles cut fingers and lots of swearing it went in. Hahaha great vid btw bro. Just subscribed!

[tmdpc]

I didn't realize that collar was going to be plastic - I thought it was going to be alloy...

[ArrtusMusic]

Great video! I'm going to have to get myself a short throw shifter now.

[DrPeaceNpot]

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

[frankthfrizz]

Just ordered mine too! I feel like my stock one is getting really worn, I've been missing shifts a lot and it doesn't give me the "in gear confidence" it used to. Thanks for this!

[bvaleriojr]

Great vid! I put a Maddog sts with a Hurst rod and ball on my srt4. Thank goodness I didn't have to go under the car!

[RellekZone]

excellent DIY bro thanks much. Doing mine this weekend..

[killerkingdon]

Great vid- details and links... you get a subscriber!! Well done and thanks!

[rcghalohell]

I never really thought of making a shorter throw setup

[johnmccrary]

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

[RichardNavarrete]

@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!

[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!

[drkslvejnr]

Do more 350z updates they can help me with mine ! Any Audio work on it???

[nismo_zrz]

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!

[No.Vanity]

my z with solid diff bushing i dont have any extra vibrations

[williamstings]

can you do a follow up on this video? i see on your latest videos the shifter collar is no longer there and maybe you did something different with your boot. are you getting the vibrations without the sound deadening?

[jeremygalloway]

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

[raUSDM]

whats the throw reduction %?
and also is it harder to shift because there is no for play?

[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.. 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
