I installed my b&m short shifter into my '97 z24. But now i notice it's harder to place into 2nd. Also if i break the tires free in 1st then try and shift to 2nd, it'll either not go in gear at all till the rpm's come down..or it'll grind for a good 2secs then slide in gear.
Before I fitted the B&M short shifter into my car, I didn't have this problem....has anyone else had this kind of situation??
Readjust the cables. If that doesn't do anything to help, Align the synchros, 2-3-1-3-2, and then try to shift fast. If it still does it then you may have bad synchos.

Well that would be nice if i could adjust them, but there not adjustable. I don't think it's something with the transaxle. More a problem with the shifter installed, i'm just gonna tear it apart again and shave some more of the metal . They call for 5mm but i'll enlarge it to like 7mm or so
Ne-waz thanx for your help
mine did that for a bit too, but i think that it had to do with my leaking slave cylinder and the clutch not fully disengaging. It seems to be much better with the new clutch
There's no place like 127.0.0.1
mine did the same thing, i just grinded the hole out more and it shifts fine. but it doesn't want to go any were now!! LOL

oh god im probly going to have porblems like this. maybe your clutch doesnt release as much as it should. i have a leak and when it gets so dry all my gears grind lol so i put some fluid in it and back to normal
did mine today and didnt have any problems, very smooth maybe like the other guy said not enough materiel removed and its not going into gear all the way.
