Best shifter setup
 

Hi, I want to know your opinion about what is the best shifter setup.

Option 1: Bushing? ... Whiteline? Perrin? Energy suspension? Torque solution? Kartboy?

Option 2: Transmission support/mount? ... Perrin? Cusco? Super Tek

Option 3: Short shifter? ... Kartboy? Billet pro?

Option 4: Shift springs? ... Mtec?

Option 5: Stock?

My 5 points are about different choices and brands. Do you prefer going with a short shifter? Or do you prefer using only some bushings....

Or you can also maybe combine some stuff like bushing with springs or short shifter with trany support...

1: Whiteline insert bushing, Rear mount billetproshop,

2: Forcedfabbllc transmission support.

3: Billet pro shop

4: MTEC

5: Stock is good. But after all that stock is more like a banana than a shifter compare to this setup...

My car seems to shift just fine ..... so, I'll pick #5.

I think the stock setup is pretty damn good. Granted, I haven't driven an 86 that has any bushing, mounts etc. I mplan to pick up those MTEC springs this summer only because EVERYTHING I've heard about them is awesome.

I'm curious how each mod affects the shift feel. I've also been looking into bushings etc, to improve feel but don't care for a short shifter, the throw is short enough as is. These MTEC springs sound interesting...

So far I'm considering shifter rear bushing, trans insert bushing, and weighted knob.

Personally I like my setup right now. Whiteline tranny bushing with Kartboy rear bushing. Waiting on a Shifteck short shifter. But honestly with those 2 mods there is a noticeable improvement. You could add a perrin or forced fab tranny support but with the mounts + the support installed there may be some noticeable NVH.

I installed perrin rear shifter bushing with whiteline KDT926 about 1years ago
& I installed Mtec spring last month. with this 3 mods, shift feeling is great.
NVH increase is minimal.

1. Kartboy bushing, comes with shifter
2. Forcefab trans mount
3. Kartboy
4. Mtech springs
5. Ew, what is this "stock" you speak of?

I don't understand what those MTEC springs are supposed to do.

My 5 points are about choices ;)

Like do you prefer bushing or a short shifter or the stock feeling is good eought for you.

My setup
- kartboy rear mount
- whiteline insert
- custom machined bushing for main mount bolt
- mtec springs

My car shifts so well with those mods, I shipped the BPS shifter back before even bothering to install it.

Could you show pictures of you custom part?

Essentially the same thing as the Perrin option. I had a few feet of 1.5" aluminum bar stock sitting around so I simplified things. It's pretty much just a sleeve haha

Nice work, thank you for the pictures!
