get the real deal and buy a Steeda. Install is a bit harder but its worth it. It is a "true" short shifter.
I'm sure people will argue that the B&M is a short throw. However, the pivot point (which controlls the distance of the throw) is the same as the stock shifter, only the shaft is shorter. The steeda pivot point has been modified creating a shorter throw. The Steeda shaft is shorter than stock but not as short as the B&M.
I opted for the Steeda and got a short throw....not a short stick. my .02
And you are incorrect.
I have tried all three, I have measured and taken pictures of all three and can tell you that a B&M and cut stock shifter are NOT the same.
- The B&M does have a shorter throw than a cut stock shifter
- The Steeda may have a shorter throw, but they feel the same. Not just my opinion, but from those who have had both say the same.
I can assure you that if you installed a B&M, a Steeda and a stock shifter cut to same height that you would be able to tell the throw distance difference between the stock vs B&M/Steeda, but not the throw distance difference (if any) between B&M vs Steeda.
