just fitted my shifter and now when i drive it vibrates like frig? this aint rite is it ? any one else had this problem

thanks jim

 

any one? really pissed off

 

check your mounts? that aint right no

 

whay mounts? car was fine b4 shifter was fitted

 

mine did that mate,put four rube tap washers under it where it bolts in

 

or even rubber

 

what in between the car and shifter plate? the four bolts yeah

 

yes mate thats what i used

 

use some sort of rubber gasket mate between car and shifter base.saves a lot of vibrations

 

ok cheers people. will try it

 

I can't see the point in rubber mounting something that was not designed to be that way. These shifters are a little noisy. I bonded all the lower console together from behind and that stopped any vibration I had. My shifter is mounted with only the skinny little gasket that Ford originally fitted and I have no problems.

Put rubber between it and you give it the chance to move and take away some of the positivity the B&M gives you.

 

Mine was really anoying me so i made a rubber gasket from a sole of a mans shoe ( a new thin rubber stick on sole, not a used 1) uesd the ford gasket as a template, works a treat.

 

four tap washers wont make the change any diff and stops it from doing it

 

Mine is bolted with the metal plate directly to the car no gasket at all, and its fine.

 

OK, so this is 4 tap washers between the shifter and the body of the car?

How about water getting into the car? Or are you saying that the positive boost pressure keeps the water out?

 

ive had enough the car will be going up for sale . nissans are calling again. have to get it outta the garage

 

if you still having probs bud gimme a call and bring it round ill take a look for ya.
