B&M short shifter noise - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I had a short shifter installed in my 92 coupe se and now there is a "buzzing" noise coming from the shifter area. I followed the directions and RTV the shifter and now there is a loud buzzing noise from 1st-3 gear. Could that be the tranny churning?

I think i have the same issue. Anyone?

Search, almost everything has been discussed before.

my apologies. I have the noise between 1,2,3 gears and then i shift to 4th and it stops. It sounds like transmission noises. Is there a way to block out that noise besides turning the radio up?

the b&m shifter makes noise. Tell everyone its because you have a race car. Mine is most loud in 4th

so there is no way to get rid of that annoying sound.. damn it!

Does the B&M shifter come with the metal bushing on the shifter?

4x4le · 04-15-2013, 02:31 PM

i have heard that there is something but I cannot remember. maybe its in that thread

Missi240sx · 04-15-2013, 03:11 PM

im pretty sure it was a plastic bushing with an insert in it

Missi240sx · 04-18-2013, 09:16 PM

after doing more research, I am convinced i have a B&M version 2 short shifter. Is it common with this version that i should be hearing the transmission turning in the cabin? Its a loud whinning that wasnt there when i had the stock short shifter. This is not a rattling noise at high rpms.. this is between 2-3k?

I can't hear it over the sounds of how awesome I am.

Or maybe that's just the exhaust/spool...

LOL.... thats hilarious... but in all seriousness.. does anyone else hear their transmission clearly from their shifter area?

miffs · 04-26-2013, 01:19 AM

yes i hear mine and i have a b&m. freaked me out at first too, thought my trans fluid leaked out because i also replaced the fluid with synthetic at the time of install. Its loudest when i forget to remove my hand from the knob, like resting it on the shifter. other than that its no biggy. i usually crank up the jams and my sub makes it hard to hear anything really

Same here with an ISIS shifter, and Nismo mounts. I thought the tranny was F***ed up. Turns out it is what it does.

Missi240sx · 04-27-2013, 02:25 AM

well this sucks then. Shouldnt have to pay 200+ to get a transmission noise in the cabin.. aint no body got time for that
