Default B&M Quickshift Revolution Special Offer!!!

Hi All

First of all Happy New Year to all members.

To start the year off we have a special one off deal on the B&M quickshift for all 2004 onwards right hand drive 6 speed STi's.

This is a simple to install kit which comes complete with all fitting parts required including bushes and reduces the shift throw by approx 21% over the original.
This will take the original STi gearknob or aftermarket ones.
If required, fitting or delivery can be arranged at very reasonable rates.

RRP on this kit is £159.99
We have 10 kits @ only £69.99

PM me or give me a call on 0191 4619200 to take advantage of this fantastic January offer, and don't forget if there is anything your looking for please drop us a line.

Only valid while stocks last, so dont complain if we run out!!!

I think so mate, I got one for my 04 which is same as yours, haven't fitted yet but instructions show pic of Blob.
It is a US company and I think the Sti blob 6spd must have been released as 04.

Hi mate

No problem.
Glad you received it in time.

Keith

In answer to other people's questions, yes it will fit the blobeye and bugeye 6 speed STI's.

As someone has mentioned B&M are an American company and they only list it for their '04 on cars.
Sorry for the confusion in my original post.

Thanks

Keith

Hi

These should take about an hour to fit by a competent mechanic.
If you want one be quick as there aren't many left.

Cheers

Fitted mine this morning

The new shifter sits perhaps 3/4 inch taller than stock,but the throw is miles shorter,took me a bit by surprise at first!

It takes a little more effort to change gear now,maybe that will ease up in time but does seem to give a more precise feel,if still a little notchy.All in all very pleased

nb.the instructions are slighty different for an 07.The plate that they tell you to reverse will infact need cutting as per the Cobb fitting video,or at least the spot welded tabs will need twatting off

Fitted mine,nice tight gear changes feels more solid as said before bit more effort to change gear but should ease up with use.Very straight forward to fit, hour tops(and put every thing back in the garage)03 sti no cutting needed just (twatting off) of the 2 tabs and spin round
cheers

do you find there is a little play in the shift as in 1st to 2nd and 3rd to 4th also do you get more transmission noise coming through it?

Well no,none at all.If anything any slop/play in the gearchange has been improved and certainly no extra transmission noise.

I fitted all the parts, inc bushes and mine was too stiff and a whine from transmission was quite loud, left it for a week and didn't improve, in fact started to get some vibration on the gearstick occasionally

Changed the front bush back to original and sooooooo much better, no noise or rattles and still a good shift, stiffer than standard but ok and very positive.

Only took 30mins to change back, all work under car.

Is this stiffer change and notchyness worth getting this fitted then?

Do the improvements in reduced throw outweigh the downsides?

Cheers

the front bush is that the one under the car, i also get vibration and whining. i ask this because i had mine fitted while the car was having a service and rear ap,s fitted. I think the mechanic must of been a bit of a **** because he didnt put the metal sleave in the bush near the leaver that is the reason i was having movement backwards and forwards. to top it all the robing *******s charged me 2 hours labour at £47.50 per hour. i know who ill be phoning in the morning.

Both bushes are under car, one is forward of the gearstick which has the metal sleeve which connects the gear change to the gearbox selector, and the other is to the rear and has two mounting bolts to hold it in place.

Hi imf1,
How hard a job is this, did you have access to "proper" garage gear, or is it a "driveway" friendly task ?

Thanks
