Short Shift kit for rb

[thatloserkidquinn]

The stock ka shifter is a direct match and it is shorter than the stock rb20 shifter

Anyone saying that the KA/SR are the same as an RB20 shifter are purely speculating and should stop. The KA/SR shifter fits RB20DE just fine but they are not a 100% bolt in for a DET. I read up on the subject awhile ago so I can't give you all the details but I know that if you want to use a KA/SR shifter it requires you to remove parts (internal shift arm?) from the KA/SR and install it into your RB20det tranny which is more work that it's worth unless you have the parts lying around and your tranny is removed from the car.

The only shifter available for sale currently would be a Nismo solid shifter for RB20DET, which is always a special order part from Japan.

I'm not going to link you to ebay auctions, but i'm sure you can find it.

thanks man, i'll repay the kindness.

as far as the nismo shifter is concerned, does it actually shorten the throw, or does it just firm it up (like with the sr one..)

[Jtuned_andy]

I'm thinking it just tightens everything up, you know how Nismo does things, takes a stock part and just improves it a 'little' bit.

there is always cut and weld.

Absolutely right. KA/SR/RB are not the same. And if you look on ebay for a short shifter for your RB20 and see some (I think last I looked there were fidanza ones saying they worked for RB20), the fact is they work only for the RB20DE not T...

I would go with the B&M install for a KA and modify it to work. Doesn't look too difficult.
