I just put in a new B&M short throw shifter. No real problems with it. However, it seems like its difficult to put into the gears. Yes, it is much shorter than stock (35%), but shouldn't it still slide in smooth? The directions only said that i needed to put a bead of silicone around the shifter to seal it, but should I have put some kind of grease in there? Its only been in 1 day, so maybe it will become easier after i put some miles on it.

If anyone knows for sure that would be great.

 

i dont know, when i bought my tri axe it came with grease on the shifter ball. maybee it will take a few days to get broken in.

 

all aftermarket shifters don't feel smooth,they will have a choppy feel
to them. like a metal on metal feel. don't add grease..

 

yea i dont know, mine came with grease. i love the stiffness feel. You will love that more than the sloppy feel.

 

mine was real stiff for the first week.. but not its gotten alittle more smooth but its still stiff. it will get better as the miles go on.

 

stiffer sticks are better.

















thats what she said [8D]

 

women say the same thing.....why didn't you reinstall the dust boot?

 

who didnt install the dust boot? mine is in, and noone else said anythign about it

 

did you adjust the stops properly?

 

yeah, it has nothing to do with staying in gear. its sliding in that is a little rough, but the more i drive it the better it feels. I think sastangman answered my question for me.
thanks
