Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior b&m shortshifter problems

has anyone had any problems with the b&m shortshifter on a gt. i have a 02 gt and i just want to make sure that it works good and will not miss any gears.

Depends on how well you can shift.

You will have no problems, if you miss shift with a B&M then your a poor driver. With a B&M its either in gear or not, almost no play in the stick.

I got B&M shortshifter and i luv it, no problems at all

i have GT and i love my B&M SS. one of the best mod i did

never any problems.

It depends what year you have folks. 02 GTS has wider shift gates. I got the b&m and although it's tighter than stock it's harder to shift b/c of the wider shift gates. I actually shift better with stock despite the shorter throw. And anyone who spends time riding with me will not question my driving skill. I'm not sure if the 02 GT is the same as the 02 GTS, but if it is you'll run into the same problem I did. I am looking to convert my shift gates to anything but 02, if I can.

I have a 03 gts without a B&M and there doesn't seem to be much play . I drove a Eclipse with a B&M it was a lot of fun.

what about the 01 gt? are the gates supposidly wide or tight. i feel that mine are tight.. but then again i havnt driven many other manuals in my time

good shifter

i luv mine too, no problems at all

Mine's fine. Although I shifted from 3rd to 2nd about 5 times in 2 days once.

No, I don't know why, and I haven't done it again since.

excellent mod..got in in my 02 gt and it gives the precise short and stiff shifts.

^^^ thats only with GTS's

darn, as if the 7800 rev limit wasn't enough. I had to get the punk'd year.

my B&M is awsome no problems

Maybe the Redline MT90 gear oil would help for those have problems

I already have the MT-90. it's just not too tight with her slots being so loose and my stick so short, ya know what I mean? suks... 02 GTS specs...that's the problem.
