B&M shortshifter fitted


Recommended Posts

Fitted a B&M short shifter today after searching for a few years with nothing listed at all for a Fabia

Opening the box it has precise instructions, not all are relevant to the Fabia as they are for a Golf

First impressions it's a quality looking item that is very well machined

The first noticeable difference is that you have to lift the shifter to get it into reverse instead of pushing down on it.

Test drive has to wait til tomorrow as I've re bonded some parts of the grille so waiting for the tiger seal to dry

B&M usaully alter the shift point on the lever to make it a quick shift rather than just making them shorter.

 

It might be short cause its for a golf?

Lol

No way, I sold my b&m off my octavia vRS for peanuts. Wish ide held on to it now as it was an awesome bit of kit. Changes were so solid. Felt more like my M5 does.

It really does give you confidence. Unlike the wollowy flappy std setup.

However! The ones I've seen on eBay are for the cars mentioned in the one from Jabbasport apart from there's no mention of Fabia on eBay.

Charlie is the B&M one now lift up reverse?
