hi

just a few questions about this product as i am thinking of getting one of doughboy

has anyone had any experience with one on a skyline r33 series 2. I think hes selling for 320 brand new. Ive driven mates wrx with short shift kit(GFB i think) short throw felt great but he has to come to a complete stop to put in first gear-will this kit cause this on my car? any information would be greatly appreciated.

i have one in my r33 s2 that i bought off ebay for 100 bux

only had to mod it a tiny bit by taking the lil plastic bit off the original one and putting it on the new one n that was it

reduced my throw heaps

feels a shitload better and id ont have to stop to go into first

why waste a extra 220 paying for the same product?

Don't buy that ebay fake stuff. What doughboy sells are the genuine article and the C's short shift is a great product - I have one in my GTR R33 and couldn't ask more from a shifter and it's quality design.

As for the WRX, I installed a shift shifter into one and its not as precise as the C's short shifter which has a much nicer feel.

You pay for what you get and doughboys price is reasonable.

    • Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS
    • Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
    • There is an ABS pump and a few solenoids. You could trigger the front/rear solenoids with a pressure bleeder attached with a Consult 2.
